Here, I'll do it myself:
"Did 100% of the colonial population support independence from Britain?"
"No."
See how easy that is? I don't understand what your reluctance to say "no" was. Especially since when it was first mention by, whoever, I don't remember because that feels like about 5 years ago, they mentioned the *population*, NOT the government or colonies themselves.
Now that that's over, let's go back to the real point of this thread.
The government violated the Constitution.
I don't answer people with the answer they want, because it's not my answer. If you want a specific answer, then answer yourself.
We don't have a government based on the loyalists. As anybody, they're entitled to their opinion. Our laws today are based on our founding fathers being unified in declaring us. It doesn't mean I think the Loyalists were wrong or that their views weren't valid, but it's not relevant to us today. if so, we would be a British state.
The government violates the constitution if it makes any law against the free practice of any religion. They can't force you to adhere to a belief and they can't penalize you for doing so. Regardless, the government is still part of the state, and those wards represent our interest, including their own. As such, they are entitled to act with the same religious freedom as anybody else. That is per the U.S. Constitution.
Personally, I have no problem with atheists being given support by the government, just as anybody else. If an atheist works for the government, then equally so. But they also need to regard the rights of everybody else to freely practice their belief. When we all respect each others belief, even though we might disagree on the fine details, then we live free and united. There were clearly two things are founding fathers didn't want. Division and a bloated government controlling the people. Yet, somehow we've been gradually heading in that direction.
