Hmm, if they become their own "country" will they force the people living there to denounce their citizenship to the US?


...and mandate a conversion (for those not already in one) to one of the myriad sects of extremist, fundie, literalist, right-wing Christianity?? LOL!


Ah, but it was one of those "extremist, fundie, literalist, right-wing" Christians that insisted on the separation of church and state. Just google "Baptist History separation of church and state roger williams".


As one article states "Williams wrote a pamphlet in 1652 entitled, "The Bloudy Tenent yet More Bloudy," which discussed separation of church and state. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison give Roger Williams the credit of being the "original thought influencer on the first amendment"."
Well yes, just as it is an ordained minister who is the leader of Americans United (For The Separation Of Church And State).


The smart ones realize that in order for their own particular religions/sects to survive and flourish this Constitutional principle MUST BE in place and adhered to very strongly.


KUDOS to them BOTH (and any others who support this principle).

Well, now that Mr. Lee (Bruce, that is, NOT Robert E.) is no longer around to stop him, I guess so.
