Doesn't mean they want their religion running things in the state

Your dysfunctional friend Harry is convinced of it.

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume Christian Democrats are less
likely to favor ratifying an official state religion than Christian
Republicans.

Liberals tend to be a little more circumspect and less dogmatic. But
I'm sure you're convinced of the opposite.

You're assuming that all democrats are liberal. I think there's
plenty of evidence to the contrary, not that I'm in favor of a state
religion. Republicans and democrats come in all stripes and their
consensus views do not necessarily reflect those of the national party
leadership.

Wayne has devolved into one of the rec.boats "feebs" who get their
jollies by seeing how far up my butt their can stick their pointy
noises. Whatever. I bozo binned him.

The fundie christians who promote this sort of "official state religion"
are not really any different than the fundie S'hia and Sunni muslims who
cannot seem to occupy the same country or state or province without
engaging in shooting wars with each other. The same would happen in
Idaho or any other state that adopted christianity as a state
religion...sooner or later the different christian sects there would
start shooting at each other in order to prove their sect was more
christian than the other guys' sect. There's plenty of historic
precedent for it.
