And I’m wrong how?

This country was founded by Protestant Christians and non-denominational protestants - who valued religious liberty. It was a Real Big Deal for the Founders. There was only, what, one signer of the Declaration who was Catholic?

Since 2005, there was only one Protestant left on the court. Since 2010, there are none.

Since the SCOTUS has been staffed in the majority by Catholics and Jews, religious freedom has suffered one defeat after another at the Supreme Court. Show me a case from this court where they’ve respected religious freedom. Just one. Go ahead. Try. Show me the results.

I may be mistaken, but I seem to remember hearing or reading that Justice Thomas is an evangelical Christian. If that's true he must be the only one of those to be seated on the USSC in my 76 year lifetime, and his appointment to that bench was fought tooth and nail by the Senate liberals of that time.

You’re implying a connection between Catholics and Jews and hostility to religious liberty. As if they couldn’t possibly be objective because of their faith.

That does a great disservice to your Catholic and Jewish brothers here.
