Rubbish. What referred to is the fact that the establishment clause didn't apply to the state govts, it only applied to to the the Federal govt. Many of the former colonies kept their established sects when they became states. Demographic changes led to their being gradually dis-established, the last being Massachusetts, in 1834 or so, not by any Supreme Court decree.I could care less about your rant; like the other spammers who keep quoting me and posting rubbish, nothing I said is debatable, it's part of the historical record so quit making fools of yourselves over and over and over again. You should sue whatever school system failed to educate you on the basics.
They may have kept their sects but they didn't fund them or give them special legal status. So you can keep your little bolded fact close to your little well educated heart and think how nice it is to be right. Nobody cares just so long as the threat of the feds taking away tax exemption keeps the state from establishing tax free segregated church schools or giving any particular religion special standing. There, feeling better?
