Isn’t jealousy why they hate iran?
The Handmaid’s Tale, was in turn, partly based on how Iran went from an absolute kingdom with a secular urban culture and lifestyle to a male-dominated theocracy.
That the US began largely as a string of colonies run by religious officials, an arrangement those megalomaniacal evangelists are trying to bring back, those pricks literally believing they’re on “holy” land and must live up to it.

But they left Europe in part to get away from church government. First amendment and all that. Most of them were religious but they wanted it out of government.

No, they wanted other people’s religion out of government

Yeah but they each wanted to be in charge. Authoritarians always do. They settled for neutrality

Some of them wanted it out of government. The fundies of the day we’re willing to go along because their parents and grandparents were chased out of England for being wackados.

The point is that they put the separation of church and state right into the constitution in the first amendment. The fact that they codified it as such, established that it was a primary principle they wanted for the nation’s foundational philosophy.
