A “State” religion? Clearly? This nation? Sources, please. Original, if you can . . . not someone’s “interpretation” fifty years after the fact.
I asked you to state what authority Religion possesses, other than persuasion, absent the authority of the State. So far you’ve proven incapable of an unambiguous response.
“Clearly the authority of a State religion is one of the founding principles of our nation.”
The founding of this nation was in part to escape this.
