When this country was founded, the northeast was largely Protestant, Maryland Catholic, and the southeast Baptist. The founders saw wisdom in allowing the LIBERTY for each to develop rules within their communities so that they could raise children in an environment reflecting their values. That's why Mennonites, Oneida, Shakers, Mormons, and others chose to build communities.

Apparently you have something against that LIBERTY of free association. Because you see, if one cannot exclude one has no control over one's associations.

This would be a wonderful way of allowing gays, and others to form depraved communities of their own and we'd all get to see the consequences, thus allowing Natural Law to work. It might well be that exclusive religious communities would fail, and we'd learn that too. You would preclude that, which I would call a negative attitude.

You are performing sleight of hand again.

Unlike you I don’t idolize early America just because it was early America.

You might remember the actual and vicious persecution of minority faiths that in fact were Christian but not the style of Christian that the majority wanted.

The gospel was instituted to be sold. Never to be forced.
