American is certainly not a theocracy of any kind, although some zealots among us would have it as such.
The Evangelical American Taliban expresses and promotes theocratic views all the time.
As for 65% of Americans being Christians, I have no evidence to challenge that, but I don't really believe it.
That's a huge number of religious-superstition-afflicted/compromised people.
If it's true, however, it explains a lot.

fully immersed in faith..
too many leftist idiots in it for that.....
I believe that Muslims, Jews, Buddhists are bewildered that a religion which includes Quakers, Pentecostals, Catholic, Unitarians could actually be considered a single unified religion - and there is even a question about whether some Christians are polytheisists not monotheists.

Either there is Jesus and God as Creator or not. Pretty simple.
The Trinity and the veneration of saints seems like polytheism to the other Abrahamic religions
Most world religions consider ritual and tradition just as important as core theological tenet. I have been to Quaker meeting, Methodist service, Russian Orthodox liturgy and they do not even look like the same religion.

They all seem the same to me. They're all very boring.
They all think Jesus, the Man-God, is REAL.

Too complex for Cypress. He thinks the clothes people wear are the profound differences.
Like other Religions, they want to impose THEIR religion on you and your children.

Absolutely.
Part of my ancestry goes back to the Puritans. When some adopted 'Quakerism', they were run out of New England. Which, just points out how fucked up they all are.
"For the Puritans, the “Lord’s Kingdom” did not include Quakers, and the Rev. Norton is known as the chief instigator of the persecution of Quakers in New England. He is quoted as saying, “I would carry fire in one hand and faggots in the other, to burn all the Quakers in the world.” The punishment for a Quaker to set foot in Massachusetts in 1660 was death by hanging."

Christianity is a composite religion that includes snake handlers to those who believe angels are ancient aliens. Plato's inability to create a state religion is what caused him to go mad.

Why do you deliberately lie like this? It is pathetic.
Agree.
You have an aversion to facts and soap and water.
Judaism and Islam all think Yahweh and Allah are real, but they do not even remotely come close to the diversity of practice and ritual that Christianity does. Sunni and Shia may be different Islamic sects, but in practice they look recognizably similar to each other.
Christianity really stands out in that way.
Nothing about a Quaker meeting and a Pentecostal revival looks remotely similar to each other. They look like different religions, and philosophically and theologically their compatibility is nominal at best.

What you said about Plato is factually false. You're just a asshole.
