So you don't truly love the liberty that comes when a government is restrained from establishing an official religion, you're just concerned that the religion you prefer won't make the final cut.

How enlighted of you...

Absolutely NOT. It is the 1st amendment. Freedom is what made this country great. Ugh

Why or Why Not?
Which of the over 37,000 different sects of Christianity would you suggest?

Perhaps a better question should be "should Christianity receive preferential treatment" by the United States government and American society?

Whose version of Christianity, yours? There are over 35,000 "versions" of them. And yours is the least historical, the most offensive, and most destructive. No thanks.

The most corrupted, destructive, greedy institution in Earth's history deserves special rights? Please tell me you're joking.
