“Look at the bloodshed in England alone.”
I’m familiar. My ancestor was the last martyr to be burned at the stake in England in 1612 for religious reasons.
Nothing about separation of church and state in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc. And, as I said, religion wasn’t taught in school but it allowed students to go to their respective churches if their parents wanted them to.
There is NOT a “state church”; that is in the founding documents.
The instant any sort of religion is taught in a government funded and operated school, that is EXACTLY what you have, a State Church. If a Southern Baptist gives a Lutheran a Biblical lecture in a captive situation, you have religious persecution in a State school.
I didn't like it. I won't permit it! This IS an issue over which I will take up arms.
