The bill is sitting in committee and will probably die there, however for those that want to read the text in its full (and simple(minded)) glory: http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2013/Bills/House/HTML/H494v1.html
My question is this: at what point does a state, any state, cross the line to having an "established religion" given the historical context of the Anglican church in the colonies before the Revolutionary War? Allowing a prayer or display in a public place by a religious group? Providing state tax dollars as donations to only one group or denomination? Passing legislation that enforces the religious beliefs of one group or denomination on all citizens? Just food for thought. Until Later! C.
