    As bad as Catholics can be, they are a bit player in the US religious landscape. I reject the premise that they are still the standard by which American "Christianity" sets its course. I'm not defending them exactly, I'm just saying they aren't the most serious problem. By far the most dangerous are the post-second-reformation evangelicals. American Catholics are barely even Catholic by most measures, and are far more heavily influenced by American Pentecostals, Adventists, Mormons, and most dangerous of all Southern Baptists. Even their own forebears would consider what they've become blasphemous heretics.

    That's almost entirely backwards

    That's accurate. The idea that they have anything to do with American Christianity is however entirely false.

    No, I said professional help. See a doctor. Tell them these things so they can help you. You need help.

    Religious discrimination is already prohibited by the Civil Rights Act and religious speech is protected by the first amendment. Furthermore, all recognized religious institutions are untaxed, there was even a segment where talk show host John Oliver founded his own recognized religion as an example.

    The nation was founded by Anglican Seperatist Pilgrims fleeing the Roman Catholic influences. Protestants are double the number of Catholics in the USA.

    If anything, I believe we need to start treating all religions like business institutions.
