This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Amen, brother, one of the topics of history that isn't discussed much is the disestablishment of religion in America. That is, religion had been widely supported by taxes in America and there were preferred religions. Religionists themselves aided in this disestablishment. I remember some of the compromises made by the dominant religion to non-dominant religions just to get them to support the revolution, but there were much more afterwards.

"You can hate your neighbor, but don't forget to say grace," is not a good message to have ring true. My hat's off to the good religionists.
