This is why separation of church and state is essential to religious freedom.

It baffles me that American Catholics advocate for replacing that with soft theocracy, because if the United States chooses to enshrine religious traditions they they won’t be Catholic ones but rather Protestant ones. We saw this during prohibition; thousands of Catholics missed out on the Blood of Christ because Protestants thought alcohol was sinful and decided to force everyone else to live by their standards.

When people push for more integration between state and church, what they mean is more integration between state and their church.
