I've met evangelical Christians who think Church and State should be separate and I've come across atheists who don't, thinking that the key role that "cosy" Anglicanism has played over the years in primary education in the UK has functioned to reduce people's propensity for Christian-based religious extremism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-37733649796950183072015-01-29T04:59:56.675+00:002015-01-29T04:59:56.675+00:00Thank you, I am honored that you have linked my po...Thank you, I am honored that you have linked my post on your blog. What scares me in the USA is the trend that I have seen, in the last 20 years, to let the Christian Right get away with much of their propaganda. They are very rich and “stealthy” and are slowly changing the USA. It is very sad.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-7452658780867877092015-01-28T19:02:51.346+00:002015-01-28T19:02:51.346+00:00Amen, George!Amen, George!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-4048151031342320402015-01-28T18:16:35.935+00:002015-01-28T18:16:35.935+00:00The United States takes great pride in "separ...The United States takes great pride in "separation of church and state." Alas, however, it's a bit of a fiction. For all the reasons enumerated by Vagabonde, church and state may be legally separated in this country, but, culturally, they are married and often share the same bed. Moreover, there are some in the religious right who would prefer a formal declaration that the United States is a Judeo-Christian nation. Let us hope this never occurs.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-42049581532519110182015-01-28T13:15:56.795+00:002015-01-28T13:15:56.795+00:00I agree.
