A federal judge in West Virginia has ruled that the state corrections agency can’t force an incarcerated atheist and secular humanist to participate in religiously-affiliated programming to be eligible for parole.

I feel like this is inaccurate. What other religions were on hand in the late 1700s? The native religions, of course, but the white guys did not care about that.
Of course there was an emphasis on avoiding dependence on any one organized religion. That was one way of keeping power in the right hands.
And in the 1970s and 1980s, it depends where in the US, but in many places or was and is very common to be Christian. If there is an strong majority, there’s no need to explicitly weaponize because society itself is already pushing your agenda. But that doesn’t mean harm wasn’t caused.
Your feelings don’t matter.
Catholicism, Protestantism, Anglicanism, Congregationalism, Baptists, Presbyterians, Jewish, Muslim, etc. Educate yourself before making monumentally dumb statements.
Patently untrue. Church of England was steamrolling with power and the Holy Roman Empire still existed. Again, just because you are ignorant doesn’t change reality.
I don’t recall saying otherwise.
Again, complete bullshit. Most Southern states are currently predominately Christian and they’re screaming at the top of their lungs that they’re the ones being religiously prosecuted.
Could you like, oh I dunno, shut the fuck up when you don’t know what you’re talking about? Kthx.
