I am danish and have several problems with the faiths in general, but oddly enough I find the idea of a state church a fine one. This is because it worked out really well for Denmark.
The church was state controlled, it was also limited by the social developments that came about as an effect of the changes in the state, and I think the US really missed out on a opportunity to have a church. that was shaped by the state and was supported by the state. While there is undoubtfully cultural difference between the protestant scandinavian model and the vast cultural melting pot of the US, it still give food for thought I find.
Anyone have an insight into the development of the early church enclaves all over the country, was such a move even possible?
