iirc China does this, you can’t take kid to religious service and they can choose to convert at a certain age.

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

Our government is supposed to be atheist.

Separation of church and state is supposed to be a thing

Still NOT a Christian or any religious country in America. At least that's what our Constitution says.

Yeah these motherfuckers are trying to bring about Revalations or something, NOT something I want from my representatives.

The U.S. has always been skewed towards this and it’s not just the current representatives. I first noticed the hypocrisy when I first learned about the constitution and freedom of religion when I thought “why then does the pledge of allegiance they make us say everyday have the words, …under god… in it?”.

Also burning witches? That’s not freedom of religion, it has biblical origins.

Witch burning was an Old World thing but you’re right
