LOL Funny you mention this stupid remark. I was just watching that (repeat). Typical hippie.
I’m sure somewhere in this (actual) country of many, many people, someone may’ve been burned - at the stake - at the hands of someone else over apostasy or some such. But it’s irrelevent.
It’s never happened as a movement in this country that I’m aware of. The Salem stuff was as a colony, long before there was a new country.
Apostasy from which groups here in the US? I don’t recall any that burned apostates at the stake, slit their throat? Yes, but not burned at the stake.
And I think they drowned those witches. Some of them, at least. I’ve never hard of anyone being burned at the stake in this country, unless the Indians did it.
