When has religion NOT tried to take over everything?

And, for a while, they were pretty successful. There were kings, but most didn't want to cross the Church.

In much of the world, that has been waning for a couple of centuries. I think it is surviving here longer, ironically, because of the 1st Amendment. We have no state-sponsored religion, deliberately. But that allows lots of religions to flourish, and some of them are dominionistic. And they see the 1st Amendment as saying "freedom to practice only our religion".

They need to be slapped-down, but that won't happen until we have Dems in control for a couple of terms. Dominionists have infiltrated the Reps, and are attacking separation of church and state from within.

And MAGA is, according to the demographics, mostly uneducated (mostly males) that don't know any better. Yeah, that sounds condescending. I don't mean it to, but it's a fact.
