The government should never assume the duties of the church. And I'm saying this as a Conservative Evangelical Christian, the group of people that some think are trying to destroy religious freedom.
Weren't claiming you had never seen Republicans do anything to push religion via government in the thread on Cruz?
Well, this is another example for you.
And people on the right wonder why the left thinks they're wanna-be theocrats...
A few isolated examples, I'll concede that. But my point stands that it works the other way more often.
