I don't know, but they sure were ignoring the rights of Native Americans, Buddhists, Jews, Hindu's, etc. We have this thing called "separation of church and state" in the USA for a reason - its the right thing to do. How would you like it if all of a sudden the government dictated that you MUST become a Muslim? Think about it.

I don't know, but the originator was obviously an idiot. Nazi Germany was still a Christian state. So were many oppressive monarchies that used Christianity to justify the righteousness of the rulers.

It seems like the idiot would be the person who doesn't know. But then after David's stupid answer to my question I don't expect much more than that from him.
