1.)I would oppose it.
2.) Government is supposed to take a neutral stance on religion just like the first part of the 1st amendment says.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

WHut, what?
It just seems like a question that's somewhat outside of the mainstream is all. While you're bound to get a couple fruitcakes now and again who would seriously suggest such a thing, it's so fringe that the debate hasn't entered the public arena in any way.
You may as well start a poll titled "Would you support a bill legalizing nun-beating?"

1.) I agree but the poll had me curious if there was actually nutters here that would support it, i can only think of 3 that probably would. Magically they havent voted or posted
2) ump the GOP already tried in north Carolina but of course it failed.
First Amendment doesn't apply here: N.C. lawmakers push bill for state religion - U.S. News
North Carolina Won’t Establish State Religion - ABC News
North Carolina Religion Bill Killed-But One Third Of Americans Want Christianity As Official Religion Of USA - Forbes
3.) I agree with you but apparently there are some nutters out there MAYBE even 25% of the country.
Why would a country need an official religion? What possible benefit would that serve other than to disenfranchise people who weren't of that religion?
No, but neither do I support the notion that religious people be precluded from politics or precluded from using their religion to inform their politics.
Which brings up an interesting question:
Where's the line between having your religion inform your politics and writing religious laws?
