I find it extremely odd and very disconcerting that countries like England with an
"official" religion have so much less religious fanatics than the U.S. which
maintains (well until recently) the separation of church and state.
What the U.S. needs is a constitutional amendment that taxes "churches" that get
involved in the state (i.e. politics) and all church property that isnt used
specifically for church activities. I am tired of paying high taxes for religiously
exempt properties and churches who are busy trying to excommunicate anyone doesnt
agree with their political view points.
How in the world it has come to the point that my taxes now pay for somebody else to
send their kids to religious or private schools I will never understand. Or how my
tax dollars go for buses and materials for religious schools. arrrgggghhhhh.
