Good point, but I would change “worked” to “have worked” and “stole” to “has been trying to steal”.

"Without religion we may possibly retain the freedom of savages, bears, and wolves, but not the freedom of New England."

Sadly, the freedom of savages is the best we can hope for. The population, even many who are nominally Christian and more-or-less conservative, are firmly convinced that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,", means the total, utter, irreconcilable separation of every Christian moral principle from the practice off governance.

The seeds of it were planted, IMHO, around 150 years ago, and the bitter weed that result was firmly entwined long before anyone could have imagined.

Right. 2 Chronicles 7:14. It is up to the Christians to stand.
