There were also offical STATE religions until the middle 1800's

Yeah but, in the continuing dichotomy of state and federal powers, that
was trumped by the Fourteenth Amendment. Besides, no one hear is talking
about a state religion, they are talking about a federal religion, and
that has always been proscribed.

I want a state sponsored religion - let's call it the Church of
Lightning and Thunder.

The mythology will be "don't pay your taxes, zap/kaboom!!!

Yeah, that works. :)


I wonder if the liebrals hear the whooshing sound passing over their heads.

When did school systems established by state guvmint become federalized?

The fact that official state religions existed for decades after the
founding of the federal guvmint, without objections from the writers of the
constitution, is proof enough that there was no intent of a "wall of
separation" that the liebrals constanting demand.
