That is what many Christians did in church today. Songs like: We salute you land of liberty My country tis of thee America are hymns, not to the Lord Jesus Christ, but to the state. They have no place in a church. Unfortunately, some songs that have no place in or out of a church were also sung in church today. Songs like the blasphemous Battle Hymn of the Republic. May God forgive the ignorance and stupidity of his children.
