I agree With Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Constitution of the United States. He said:
"Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man... perverted into an engine for enslaving mankind... a mere contrivance (for the clergy) to filch (steal) wealth and power to themselves."
"In every country and in every age the priest has been hostile to liberty: he is always in allegiance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection of his own... History I believe furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government... Political as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves (of public ignorance and stupidity) for their own purpose."
"State churches that use government power to support themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths undermine all our cherished civil rights... Erecting a 'wall of separation between church and state' therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society."
In my opinion, that is exactly where this country is headed... it's called Theocracy.
