Here we have every damned religeon you could imagine and then a whole bunch more that you couldnt.
Here too we have the same huge number of religion (we lack amish and nufurrian
).
But one is preferred, and have a political, BIG, influence, and a cultural too (schools).
This is a simple idea. Many churches, Mosques and Synagogues of all denominations provide social services to the needy and downtrodden. These faith based social services do a mighty fine job as it turns out. Far better than Federal Government programs. Allowing these private groups the opportunity to compete for funding with lazy federalist slags makes damned good sense in my opinion.
Try it. If it doesnt work, stop.
Agree, try it, but we are discussing in serenity, am I correct?
Ive heard the arguments about church and state and its all just so much athiest mumbling fumbling crap. In Italy there is a single large predominant religeon. No comparrison to the the many and varied religeons in these United States.
