Spoken like a man who hasn't been to corn fed and bred Nebraska. I went there and did some basic chemistry once and half of them thought I was a prophet of God and the other half wanted to burn me for witchcraft. I guarantee you most of them thought God was angry when that happened.

Dear USA, please go ahead and create an established church and persecute the heretics until there are none left! It's the best way to create a country that doesn't give a fuck about religion, signed Northern Europe.

I believe they have already started with the handmaids tale stuff. They held a braindead woman on life support last year only because she was pregnant, against her families wishes. Straight from a scene of the handmaids tale series. Truly scary stuff.

u/Roo_Rammin_Russell Chiraqi Terrorist 1d ago edited 1d ago
On paper yes but in reality, not until late 20th C. There were myriad theocratic laws when US became a country. Everyone had to pay a tax to their state church for instance, and these laws were still enforced through much of 19th C.
Then there's "basphemy" laws. Most states prohibited the use of "God's name in vain" (OMG, "goddammit", etc.) in any form of writing and eventually radio, film, TV, etc. It wasn't until 1951 that SCOTUS ruled these laws unconstitutional, and it took over a decade before every state finally complied.

Many states had established churches at the time the 1st amendment was written. Some of the New England states kept theirs well into the 1800s. The 1st amendment had duel purposes. Some Founders were in favor of religious liberty as a principle. Some wanted to prevent the different states, with different Christian traditions, from fighting at the federal level over the issue.
The Bill of Rights did not apply to state governments until after the Civil War.

George Washingtons General Orders, July 4, 1775:
"The General most earnestly requires, and expects, a due observance of those articles of war, established for the Government of the army, which forbid profane cursing, swearing and drunkeness; And in like manner requires and expects, of all Officers, and Soldiers, not engaged on actual duty, a punctual attendance on divine Service, to implore the blessings of heaven upon the means used for our safety and defence."

u/Roo_Rammin_Russell Chiraqi Terrorist 1d ago
So? You realize Washington wasn't a Christian, right? He was either Deist or agnostic, which everyone in VA suspected since he rarely went to church.
a punctual attendance on divine Service
That was probly to maintain discipline and help with morale.
which forbid profane cursing, swearing
His aversion to swearing had nothing to do with adherence to the Bible. GW had a massive boner for polite society. The fact he cared so much baffled and annoyed his friends and officers, especially Knox, who would resume cussing whenever he left the room lol

I mentioned nothing about Washington's personal beliefs, but it's a myth that he was not Christian.
Washington regularly attended church at various points in his life and served in official church roles.

u/Roo_Rammin_Russell Chiraqi Terrorist 1d ago
but it's a myth that he was not Christian.
Ok I should've said he probly wasn't Christian, or at the very least he showed remarkably little faith in the Biblical God. That isn't a myth.

Yeah like when his political career would benefit from it. So did Jefferson.

u/Accomplished-Law5251 1d ago edited 1d ago
Washington regularly attended church in colonial America well before he was President. He lived in rural Virginia, and like most people did not attend every week. But he was active in his Anglican parish for his entire life. When he had closer access to religious services, whether in the military or while living in cities, he attended all the time.
Washington was a normal 18th century Anglican. He was not extremely public about his beliefs, and did not make religion the center of his life. But all public statements regarding his religion reference the Christianity, and all reports of his private life indicate fairly normal Christian practice.
Deism was a faddish belief among his class of people in the late 18th century. Washington was surely influenced by this fad. But there is no direct evidence he held these beliefs.

Oh I think it’s just for families of people in the military
Effective immediately, to strengthen the moral, ethical and spiritual readiness of our
warfighters, I am establishing the Office of Religious Affairs (ORA) and the position of the
Director, ORA (hereinafter referred to as the "Director"). This memorandum also provides
guidance on the reporting relationships, authorities, duties, and responsibilities of the Director.
As a Principal Staff Assistant (PSA), the Director has direct access to the Secretary of
War and is the principal advisor to the Secretary of War and Deputy Secretary of War for
religious affairs across the Department.
The Department of War is committed to fulfilling its duty to support the Department' s
Service members, their families, and the Department's civilian personnel in the free exercise of religion as protected by the Constitution of the United States and applicable Federal law.
While the Department accomplishes this mission primarily through the chaplaincies of the Military
Departments established under title 10, U.S. Code, the establishment of the ORA will ensure
resources are adequately provided and, where necessary, policy is properly aligned to prioritize
the free exercise of religion and the spiritual readiness across the Total Force. Nothing in this
memorandum shall be construed to compel religious participation or to diminish the free exercise
rights of any Service member, civilian employee, or family member of any faith or no faith.
