The fact it’s had to go that far is psychotic. Country was founded on freedom of religion. What do the Christians do? “Oh this means freedom from other religions” and proceed to take systemically take everything over and force their religion down everyones throats. While at the same time claiming that the LGBTQ community is the ones doing the shoving.

Single most dangerous cult on the planet is Christianity.

Let me try a different argument:

The separation of church and state has forced American denominations to compete in a marketplace for souls/money, and they have become ruthlessly efficient corporatized entities, using marketing and business-process management, and exploiting tax advantages and high switching costs.

Meanwhile, in Europe, you have official state Catholicism or Protestantism-flavors, which are moribund, inspire little passion, and most everyone is either atheist, agnostic, or un-passioned.
