Sure and we’ll send you a bill for living in Western Civiliation (a Catholc thing), for literacy (Catholics established schools in the West), for medical care (hospitals are a Cathlolic invention), any enjoyment you ever had for Western art or music, etc.
Tax-supported state churches are, of course, a major reason why secularism and anti-clericalism have a bigger hold on Europeans than on Americans.
