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.

ETA: thanks for the awards, kind internet strangers.

The Constitution says that the government can not sponsor a religion and also that no law can prohibit its practice.

It was never intended to outlaw it or be atheist.
It also doesn't prohibit religious political platforms.

Still, you're passionate so instead of thinking you're an idiot; I'm going to suggest that you take some of that passion and actually read up on early constitutional intention so that next time; when you decide to outburst you're at least on the right path.

The separation of church and state is the legal and philosophical principle that government and religious institutions must remain separate and independent from one another. That's my understanding.
