America isn't a free country without freedom from religion.

[@rssrssnewsmaster]

Separation of church and state.

[@keke8880]

Yikes this is scary. Great information, thanks Lerone

[@augusthome9860]

This video was very interesting, thanks!

[@LimitlessThinker]

That was very informative. It appears Hoover hadn't read the works of our forefathers.
He was also quite the hypocrite.

[@kleenmaint]

Hypocrite is putting it lightly. lol

[@dianahill5116]

Everyone is born atheist.
Religion has to be taught.
Atheism doesn't have to be taught.

[@tealx8462]

True!!!

[@RakeFlier]

Don’t forget to 👍🏼

[@mnag3046]

Nothing gives a person the freedom to abuse, kill and undermine another’s humans basic rights then doing so in the name of god!

@06:10 Sounds like Senator Tuberville.

[@nadirku]

So from the evidence we have, we can only say the two men (Hoover, and Clyde) were "very good friends"?

[@tealx8462]

I was under the understanding that Hoover was black. Could anyone elaborate on that.

[@artistsonthecuttingedge8510]

We claim a lot of people but he was not. Proven?

[@maryroberts9315]

J. Edgar Hoover wasn't Black. There were persistent rumors that he was a homosexual. He lived with his mother most of his life and he had a close male "friend" and they lived together later.

[@neilforbes416]

J. Edgar Hoover was an *UNSPEAKABLE MONSTER,* as was *BILLY GRAHAM!* Good riddance to both of them!

[@artistsonthecuttingedge8510]

I don’t wish harm to anyone but since they met death naturally, I will agree with you!

[@Miriam-ui5pw]

Wow, what did Billy Graham do? In my neck of the woods down south, people still sing his praises.
