Bold mine.
"Not much of a state religion" is still a state religion. You said yourself it's a state religion in name, though not in practice. I don't think the argument was about the practice of it, but rather it's existence. This needs to be clearly defined and agreed upon by both parties for this to even be a debate, let alone a "won" debate.
You guys are kind of arguing two different points. If we're talking about whether the people of the country are religious, you've got a point. If we're talking about whether the government is secular or not, Huggy has a point.
If you want to call it a debate, Huggy, you guys are going to need to set definitions of terms. This is all semantic bullshit.
