#881 reply to #878
You did not start a hypothetical. You copied what I wrote and followed up with a question.
you copied my point verbatim:
“Let us pretend for a moment that America was in fact populated by perhaps a majority of White Christian Protestants in 1787 when the secular and religiously pluralistic CONSTITUTION was being written.”
And then you attacked it. You did not re-phrase it as a hypothetical,
You immediately wrote:
“How does that marginalize anyone? It doesn't.”
#881 Side Questions for you. Did that largely white Protestant Christian majority marginalize Catholics, Jews snd Virginia’s Baptists and other non/Christians prior to the religiously pluralistic and secular Constitution being ratified and the concept of Jefferson and Madison‘s religious freedom was established?
#881 Why did 16 Centuries of Christianity in Europe never produce a concept of governmental religious freedom Christianity is to be credited for making it a prominent part of the US Constitution?
Right, but if you read my post, I had started a hypothetical.
