    Banning organized religion is blatantly not separation of church and state, firstly. Secondly, that’s also the government telling the public how it’s allowed to peacably gather. Thirdly, Trump didn’t rise to “prominence” solely off the back of even a single “organized religion’s” doctrine. Now Buddhism or Jainism aren’t allowed to be practiced anymore because minor, puritanical, racist sects of Christianity (and the “prosperity gospel” hucksters grifting the simple and spiritual by singing the same hymns) helped raise a dictator?

    The Cult of Trump isn’t an “organized religion” and won’t be quashed by anything less than targetted removal of Trump and people that aided him. Certainly not by hiding personal grievances in the fineprint like you’re hiding dog medicine in a roll of ham.

      Christianity is the religon that the Trump cult members are recruited from

      The religious indoctrination of children prepares them to be unquestioning adults who worship whoever can sound like their pastor.
