Far too much emphasis is placed on what “the founding fathers” intended. So even if they intentionally mixed religion and government, I’d still believe that religion should be yeeted out of government because our government should be written to serve people living today and not elevate religion to special status.
I’m really curious whether your downvoter is butthurt about you pointing out the fact the FFs owned slaves or if they disagree that women should have equal rights.
My guess is that it was downvoted for being “presentist,” as in judging the founders through the lens of contemporary morality, but that’s just a guess.

Yeah, I really do not give a shit what a bunch of slave owners who didn’t believe women should have the same rights as men intended.

No idea. People are weird.
