Would the law professor from A&M be supportive of states determining, on their own, to outlaw or restrict certain religions? What if states mandated allegiance to specific churches?

Horrors! People would be able to live in a community reflecting their religious values!!! "We" can't have that!

That was the idea after all, liberty being what it was.

Are you still negative minded? (I did not chase you, I came across you here on a thread I spotted for other reasons.)

Faith is a POSITIVE thing. Touting faith A does not mean restricting faith B except inasmuch as the supernatural entities behind faith A may by nature undermine those of faith B. It happens on a supernatural plane, not in the mortal coil.
