It's the same in the UK. I find particular amusement in tormenting the neopagan anti-Semites who want to start a race war.

I told one he should consider watching The Chosen after he accused me of being a cuck. He gave up trying to convert me after that particular suggestion.

In 'Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments' Madison argued that a state-back religion could lead to persecution over small doctrinal differences.

I actually searched Grok to see who influenced the Founding Fathers, because it seems to me that they had an intuitive grasp of the narcissism of small differences. I shall have to read Montesquieu 'The Spirit of the Laws'.
