My point in posting that was to demonstrate how seriously deluded people nowadays are regarding this "separation of church and state" nonsense. During that era, it was taken for granted that the vast majority of the populace was devout Christian of one form or another.
Even in the 20th century, the Military used to require church attendance. We have gotten a long way from where we started, and people persist in lying about what happened and what existed in the past.
You are right. Today we would jail him that is how crazy we are.
