The founders had no intention of including Satan following as part of freedom of religion. Regardless of the name used for Satan: Ba’al, Moloch, or Allah. Islam is a satanic cult used to conquer territory, not a real religion.
Back then, it probably was so beyond agreed upon the probably didn't think it was even possible people could get this stupid and complacent over existential threats to their own country.
I'm sure you're right. Same for other idiocies (the push for trannies) and treasons (the entire Obama and Biden admins) we have been witnessing of late.
The opening two paragraphs should be plastered everywhere:
Let’s stop pretending: Islam is not a religion in any sense of the word. Love thy neighbor? Hardly. Temperance and self-control? Laughable. Do unto others? Well, maybe, if that doing includes jihad.
The incontestable truth is that Islam is a violent, misogynistic, intolerant political system that has been on a millennium-and-a-half-long global holy war to conquer the globe by conversion, enslavement, and murder. Denial of this basic historical fact is akin to denying the moon landing.
BTW, that last sentence overstates the certainty of the moon landing, in my opinion (I'm on the fence, for several reasons). But the truth of Islam being "a violent, misogynistic, intolerant political system that has been on a millennium-and-a-half-long global holy war to conquer the globe by conversion, enslavement, and murder" IS undeniable, given the centuries of evidence.
The thing that most people miss is that When the American founders wrote protections for religious liberty in documents like the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, they were very aware of centuries of European laws where Christians jailed other Christians over doctrinal differences. The American colonies themselves had seen some of this as well.
Refusing to baptize infants was one of the most common criminalized beliefs.
In England after the English Reformation, the state required participation in the Church of England.
Refusal could bring fines or jail.
This targeted:
Puritans
Separatists
Quakers
Laws such as the Act of Uniformity 1662 forced ministers to use the Book of Common Prayer, and thousands of pastors were removed or imprisoned for refusing.
Many governments required ministers to be licensed by the official church.
Unauthorized preaching could result in prison.
For example:
John Bunyan, author of The Pilgrim's Progress, spent about 12 years in jail in England for preaching without permission from the Church of England.
People in the colonies had firsthand knowledge of these conflicts. Many settlers came specifically to escape them.
Thinkers like:
James Madison
Thomas Jefferson
argued that civil government should not punish doctrinal disagreement among Christians. That principle was written into the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, which strongly influenced the First Amendment.
Their basic idea was simple:
Government should not decide which Christian doctrines are correct or punish people for holding the wrong one.
They NEVER had in mind Islam or Satanism or any other totalitarian or destructive ideology when this was written.
In fact the supreme Court even affirmed that America is a Christian nation in the case Holy Trinity v United States.

They'd have done well to include that intention specifically in the First Amendment. It would have saved us a world of hurt in the 21st century.
well it is obvious to original intent
Yes.

They also knew the difference between true religion and false religion.

Good, pass a law that could lead to the deportation of Ilhan Omar.
Islam did NOT do 911
"Islam did NOT do 911"
...another false religion was responsible...
...zionism...
Just ban "religions" that support liars/lying. And the Truth Shall set us FREE.
To me, the constitution puts reason and the law first...
You can practice any religion you like, as long as it is inside our laws.
