How can you argue against your own religious freedom from a state religion? Why would you want a state favored religion?

It appears you have difficulty with the word "clearly". There is nothing in my statement No, the clear intent of the 1st amendment was to prevent a State religion, not to have a wall between religion and the state. which proposes any "favored" religion. On the contrary, it mentions preventing a "favored" religion.(clearly a State religion would be "favored")

Yep, preventing state religions was the clear intent back in 1789. It worked, as they all faded away in the next several decades. -- But I see you want to bicker about 'walls' etc.. -- Granted, no wall is needed, just common sense in making laws, - pro or con - about religion.
But Dataman knows this, having argued so before.
It's an agit-prop tactic [invented by leftists], to insist upon repeating such flat out errors of constitutional fact. -- How can you argue against your own religious freedom from a state religion? Why would you want a state favored religion?

THe only thing 'clear' from your two replies is a total lack of any ability to answer my questions.

Thanks.
