Religious intolerance is the main reason we have
separation of church and state in this country.

2. I'd say it had more to do with keeping other people's religion out of our face.

5. With no separation of church and state, you'd really see
religion in your face big time. Combine the two into one and you'd see a situation similar to the governments in Iran and Saudi Arabia.

3. Religious intolerance goes far, far back into mankind's history.
And will surely go far into mankind's future.

Few religions are exempt.

7. Isn't it the flip side of proselytizing?
And isn't that a part of all religions?
