"Sadly, we are the child of england?" You've got to be kidding me.

"Conveniently has no 'organized' church" Ya know, with comments like these no wonder there were a lot of anti-Catholicism in the early days of America.

So you think it was justified?

I believe he was specifically referring to the State trying to subordinate the Church. The State is still trying to do it, centuries later.

???

There were "organized" (I think he means "established") churches in most of the U.S. in the early days, though the First Amendment forbade such an establishment at the Federal level. In fact, until the 1870's, a person standing for election to the state legislature in New Hampshire was required by law to be a Protestant. (I'm pretty sure that law wasn't enacted by Catholics.)

I find it's pretty common today as well.
