    Sounds like the American Baptists should get on that. Then again, they believe strongly in separation of church and state.

    (They’re the sect that remains of the original Triennial Convention AKA Baptists, after the Slaver Southern Baptists left because they didn’t like the idea of chattel slavery being considered wrong. Seriously. The split occurred because they refused to ordain a guy from Georgia as a missionary in 1844, on account of him being slaver trash.

    The modern Southern Baptist Church, horrifyingly the largest sect of protestant Christianity in the US, is directly descended from them, and it shows.)
