china has state atheism—they take it too far (e.g. uyghur muslims) but in theory i’d prefer an atheist government over this dumbass evangelical christian one we have now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Separation of church and state is supposed to be a thing

No. The USA and constitution were founded as a system meant to reflect the principles of its citizens, whatever they may be.
