To clarify, I am an atheist. This question is not intended to argue religion, it is simply a thoughtful question. I will mark as spam any answers meant to do so; you have been warned. I also have a theory that I call "Fight the Faith" that has nothing to do with me being an atheist trying to denounce all religion. If you're curious about it, ask.
The government paid and continues to pay Native Americans and African Americans for past wrongs. Until recently, there was still a law that allowed a person to shoot a Mormon on sight. Joseph Smith went through a lot of wrongful prosecution as did many of his followers. Why has the government not yet paid them as it did Native and African Americans.
In addition to that, the constitution allows for freedom of religion. How then was it possible to create a law that allowed a person to shoot a Mormon on sight just because of that person's religion?
