    They were not even the same religions as one-another, so that makes no sense. Also, there’s no basis for that idea.

        Well if you call putting it into the constitution “settling” for neutrality, then so be it, have whatever terminology you want. They didn’t want a theocracy, but the fundies of today would like nothing more than that.

          No, they definitely wanted a theocracy, but none of them had the numbers for it to be the theocracy they wanted, so thry settled on a solution and made damn sure it wouldn’t be anyone elses theocracy by putting it in the constitution.

          Thats why it’s a ‘religiously neutral’ state with special privileges for religion, rather than a secular state with free exercise of religion where doing so does not violate laws-an idea proposed and shot down at the time.
