Have we (America) separated church and state?

AnneWimsey comments on Feb 22, 2019:

I remember how unhappy a lot of people were when the words "under gawd" were added to the Pledge of Allegiance. (As a knee-jerk reaction to the intense fear of "godless communism" after WWII) Back then the majority of people were very vigilant about separation of church & state,even without much knowledge available as to how a theocracy, such as the Eastern countries, were horribly repressive. Just frightening now, lot of very vocal people keep insisting we would be better off as a theocracy...old white guys, yes, the rest of us, not so much....

Take a good look around you.

Ohferpetesake. Ever hear of the Scandinavian countries, where people have much more leisure time, much better family-work balance, including lots of bonding time with newborns?
