The church of England was "a denomination "?  LOL.   What a load of revisionist bovine excrement.
 
It was the STATE "church".

Meet the New Boss, same as the Old Ba'al
--The Who?
Ba'al being a Hebrew word meaning owner, lord, master, possessor.
 
 
The Religionist TYRANNICAL abuse of the "church" of England, the "church" of Rome before it, and every religionist-state slave-manufacturing hierarchy throughout human history - WERE PRECISELY THE REASON FOR THE 1st AMENDMENT.
 
Is your "faith" so weak that you must coerce others to prop it up?
 
 
You confuse a nation of FREE Christians with a "Christian Nation";  whereas Jefferson and the founders DID NOT:
 
"Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination."
-Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom

"The insertion [of Jesus Christ] was rejected by the great majority..."

Repeating the same pap endlessly and resorting to insults does not change the historical record.

Refute that Jefferson backed the seal. Refute the documents in his handwriting held by the Library of Congress. You can't.
