Oh, please. No other Christians and Christian churches feel discriminated against because the Anglican Church has been stripped of its political power. Back when the Anglicans were putting Catholics to death, I'm fairly confident that non-Anglicans were keenly aware of the discrimination.

Now that statement is just plain ignorant. It is not how, for instance, the Roman Catholics felt about it when they ran Europe - for, oh, about 1200 years.

They did not stop running it that way because they had a sudden attack of civic scruples. They stopped because they were forced to stop.

No, they likely aren't. You often find these "Founding Father" quotes on websites yet see no scholarly links for them. Most often they are from someone else and mistakenly attributed to a Founding Father.

I googled bits and pieces of several quotes and the same websites kept coming up. None of them looked legit.

They most likely come from some "The Founding Fathers were Christian!" site. You can usually check fact check sites or snopes as well to confirm that a lot of the quotes are B.S.

Also, many of the people quoted have websites devoted to them and their actual writings. The sites are maintained to reflect actual history and not to further a particular political agenda.

You have got to be trolling. Know how you get armed insurrection? This is how. Start doing nonsense like this.

I could only imagine the election that would take place after you saw idiots try to pass a law like that.
