To the editor: The letter writers arguing for secularism in the U.S. are appropriate within the sense that faith of any sort has no place in authorities. Nonetheless, I want to take their reasoning a step additional.
The first Modification states partly that “Congress shall make no legislation 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 biggest Christian sect within the U.S. is Catholicism. I submit that the majority Protestant sects can be apoplectic over this and rightly so.
You’d 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 comprehend how life in a “Christian” nation may play out.
