I begin to understand... no, I lie. I may never understand the US religio-political complex..

So, let me get this straight:

You can't have abortions, contraception, or same-sex marriage, and people are still being jerks about female clergy, nevermind queer clergy, but y'all have to work Good Friday and Easter Monday and you don't even get time-and-a-half for it?

Ok, look. In the event that y'all ever do somehow end up with an Established Religion, may I just put in an extremely enthusiastic word for being ground under the merciless (Birkenstocked) heel of the Episcopalians/Anglicans/C of E?

The Episocopalian church where I live got angry that the overall US Episcopalian trend is toward equality and egalitarianism and in protest of the making of qualified people bishops while women or queer, they're no longer Episcopal. They split with the USEC communion and so the local diocese is officially Anglican with all the anti-woman, anti-queer trappings of the highest highest old conservative recalcitrant stalwarts in the UK, but even more like the highly culturally conservative bishops of Africa.

So I'm not at all convinced that CoE/Anglican/Episcopalianism is any guarantee of a progressive happy live and let live form of Christianity at all.

IMNcommodorified, but I think the point was less whether/how progressive the church is and more how they tend to keep their nose out of non church members' politics.

That being said, I don't think we do have an official religion in Canada.
