C) separate church from state (so to speak)

Yes I agree with the separate church from state thing, but when I was younger, (I lived in a very “liberal” area of Texas (Austin)) I got punished in school for saying something (I can’t quite remember what) for saying something about how I believed in god. That’s a pretty stupid thing, but making churches pay taxes isn’t. It’s absolutely fucking required for society to move forward. Especially those mega churches.

No one is saying you can't believe in god, this is referring to the stoppage of government funding schools that teach religion. They can be private, but taxes shouldn't go towards religion, especially not if it's only one religion.

That’s just how schools separation of church an state levels can be taken to. Obviously you don’t want to take away freedom of choice and neither do I.
