All that supposed secularism worked when the country was more or less uniformly Christian. It doesn’t any longer, and we are not free as a result.

It was not “supposed” it was actual. Our founders envisioned and put into place a government that would exercise only secular authority.

I am free. Not sure about you, you seemed chained to your own delusions about the prefereability of living in chains to a religious authority that controls your material being as well as your immortal soul.

And you think this is “limited” government? That religious authority is preferable to the “tyranny” of having to make your own decisions? And do you not foresee that perhaps, just maybe, religious authorities could be corrupted?

And what then? No more elections to throw the bums out. We have to live with them ruling us or make war upon them. And you think this system would be preferable?

Laughable naive.
