re: #108 Anymouse 🌹

The wall of separation of church and state isn’t gong to come down with a nuke. It will come down, chip by chip, a little at a time.

Numerous public schools are already teaching the Bible as fact, with several lawsuits going. Every time one is knocked down, another comes up.

Schools teaching abstinence-only education (an explicitly Christian viewpoint) have had their teaching upheld.

Roe v Wade is having similar problems. Originally abortion was legal until the end of the second trimester, that keeps getting chipped away by states, along with continued attempts to define a fertilised egg as a person. Women have gone to jail over so-called foetal homicide laws.

Tennessee has an “official Bible.” Oklahoma’s and Arkansas’s Ten Commandments monuments remain on the capital grounds despite court challenges (and people running them over).

The history of the USA all the way back to the colonies is replete with religions trying to assert supremacy over government, usually with the aid of elected officials.

Again give me some legal jurisprudence showing that they’d ban a religion entirely. I am seeing evidence of favoring Christianity but that’s different than allowing states to outright ban a religion.
