Would America be better off with a state religion?

I don't support the right of cultists to live their own lives.

NEVER disrespect the cult!

"Freedom of religion" was arguably a mistake, or, at best, outdated,

Are you an American? I mean, are you an American CITIZEN? I'm moving you to ignore. You have no place in this forum as far as I'm Concerned

If America had a state church funded with taxpayer money, like the Church of England, except it would be the Church of the United States, I can see several advantages to it:

1. It would be created by people who are experts in religious studies, such as theology. This would help ensure that it is legitimate.

2. It would allow us to ban cook religions like Westboro Baptist Church and the FLDS. No more protection of cookery under the guise of "freedom of religion".

Sure, some people (as in cooks and cultists) wouldn't like it, but that's their problem. If they don't like it, they'd either be free to convert, or keep their cookery in the closet where it belongs.

Banning cultic religions?

Are you seriously implying we should make the entire democrat party illegal?

Why don't you want people to cook?
