    The thing most people don’t bother to learn about TPUSA, is that the organization is focused on indoctrination of Christian-Right ideology in schools. They want schools to have a charter to promote their fucked up beliefs. At one point (I don’t know what was made of it) the Oklahoma school superintendent claimed TPUSA charters were something their students (or maybe the parents) wanted and that he would mandate across the state all high school’s have a charter.

      I’m talking about the UK. We already have state religion anyway and schools generally have had mandatory religious education and Christian worship during assemblies. We don’t have the same constitutional idea of separation of “Church and State” that the USA is supposed to have, moreso a separation of State and Government. So supporting something like this would just be a simple conservative position rather than something radical

        Unlike the UK’s fake religion that everyone knows is fake and is only kept around because without it the monarchy has no legitimacy (also a fake antiquated thing but whatever), American evangelicals actually believe in the evil shit that their religion promotes and endorses them to do.

        Or are you saying that killing witches and executing gay people never stopped being mainstream in the UK?

          Generally Christians do actually believe in their religion. Christianity doesn’t promote “evil shit”. It definitely doesn’t promote executing people.
