Many states? Well into the 1800s?
Massachussetts was the last state which had an unenforced state religion, which was formally removed in 1833. Most states/colonies had rempved their stste religions before the end of the War of Independence was even over.
That you put your overstated and misleading arguments squarely in the Tory/Royalist camp speaks volumes.
Off by six years, wrong Yankee fiefdom. Oops. 1833 is still well into the nineteenth century, regardless.
Your overblown, pompous reaction to my truthful statements on the basis of two little gotchas that in no way undermine accuracy speaks volumes.
The Constitution did not prohibit the power of establishing a State Chuch to States. You inadvertantly acknowledge this via your own attempted refutation.
This speaks volumes as well.
