To the editor: The letter writers arguing for secularism within the U.S. are appropriate within the sense that faith of any form has no place in authorities. Nonetheless, I wish to take their reasoning a step additional.
The first Modification states partly that “Congress shall make no regulation respecting an institution of faith.” However think about, if you’ll, a “Christian” nation.
Who would decide what sect of Christianity would maintain sway over this idea? By far the most important Christian sect within the U.S. is Catholicism. I submit that the majority Protestant sects can be apoplectic over this and rightly so.
You’ll then, conceivably, have sectarian violence much like that in different international locations. One want solely have a look at the Sunni-Shia divide of Islam to understand how life in a “Christian” nation would possibly play out.
