Of course, the establishment of the One, Holy, Roman, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ as the only religion of the State is now impractical in most countries, but that doesn't mean the principle is not still existent.

I prefer the United States Constitution, which forbids the establishment of a state religion, Catholic or otherwise.

The US Constitution allows the States to establish churches - the Congregational Church was established in Massachusetts until 1833.

Why shouldn't Christ's Church be established as the religion of the state, sinkspur?
