To the editor: The letter writers arguing for secularism in the U.S. are right within the sense that faith of any type has no place in authorities. Nevertheless, I wish to take their reasoning a step additional.
The first Modification states partially 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 most important Christian sect within the U.S. is Catholicism. I submit that the majority Protestant sects could 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 appreciate how life in a “Christian” nation would possibly play out.
