Christianity is a subversive religion that thrives under oppression
State religion is the worst thing that ever happened to it
I'd like to see this play out a little more in the Tug.
I could argue his point both ways. America became great in large part because of its protestant Christian foundation. Its water-down tolerance has arguably led to its downfall too, but that's another story.
The country's protestant Christian tradition wasn't a state religion though. Quite the opposite. And the side benefits of it are critical as to why the US (or Great Britain or Germany or the Dutch) became so wealthy and successful. No one here articulated the argument better than noted Tug Con @Dennis_DeYoung .
