    Quick, someone check to see if this copy has anything in it about making Christianity the state religion.

      No need, just say there is and we’ve deliberately destroyed education and society to the point functional illiteracy is probably 50% of the population.

      Fact checking my guess: " According to a 2020 report by Gallup based on data from the U.S. Department of Education, 54% of adults in the United States lack English literacy proficiency.[2]"

        Just like their pastors tell them what’s in the Bible when they go to church. And they don’t bother checking.

          I wouldn’t want to read that book either.

      No need 1A speaks to that:

      Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,

      No need. America is a nation who’s founder where largely of one religion but they ensured that no one religion should assert itself over others.
