Because Billy Bob and his AR-15 wouldn't take too kindly to it.

If what happened to Lebanon were to eventually happen in the USA (Islam overtakes Christianity as most popular religion), would you convert to Islam to protect your family if you were given the choice to convert, pay non-believer tax, or die?
I don't actively practice any religion, so I would not die over it, I'd save money from a tax, I'd convert and then actively not practice that new religion.

Seems simple enough.

Well, I pay taxes now, so I'd just pay a tax (so long as it does not exceed 20%)

No

At least I hope I'd be strong enough to not forsake the name of Jesus and die like a man

Are y'all saying it could never happen in this country?
Are we saying that given a choice of death, paying a non-Muslim tax or converting could never happen in the US?

Yes, yes I am saying that.

Sure...but there is a flaw in your otherwise logical reasoning.

The flaw is that radical Muslims "test" converts to prevent exactly what you described.

You would have to learn the Koran, in Arabic, front and back and be able to recite it on spot.

Otherwise, they would kill you.

Gotcha. Well, I'll say this a shitty hypothetical, but I stay true to the game and answer.

I'm again not dying over religion, which I'm not too interested in. I guess I'd have to know the tax amount. If it's too much of a burden on my family, I convert, and just read and learn all that religious shite that I still won't give a shite about. If it's not too much of a burden, i'll pay the tax.

Zero chance I'm dying over it since I don't claim a religion now.

There's not a chance in hell that I'd convert to that piece of shite of a religion.

Once they get here, they'll have jobs and hugs and thus be happy. No worries.

Lets say the conditions were right for a radical ideology to take over our country. Some sort of cataclysmic event breaks down our government. I think we would see a rise of some sort of radical Christianity or a secular fascist dictatorship before we would see a take over by Muslims.

I'm more scared of the fact that you have children.

Oh, and there's a little something called the first amendment. Without it. We would have never had a secular government.

And please Killz, get a vasectomy. If you can't afford it, we'll start a go fund me.

Most Muslim chicks actually shave because the Quran says that pubic hair is unclean.
