During The American Revolutionary War, the state religion of Great Britain was Christianity?

It looks like a self-confession, or . . .
When I have confronted Setanta,
condemning him for his incivility, he has defended by recrimination.
I coud not deny that he was correct, merely that my counter-abuses
were less egregious (and more justified) than his un-provoked social perversity.


Multiple be the chuckles.

@oristarA,
I am moven to add, in all candor
that on very seldom occasions, I have silently agreed
with Setanta's stomping on someone. However infrequent it may be,
sometimes his victim DESERVES it.

Yesterday, I quietly gave Setanta a thums UP
for his justified denunciation.

I think it is not deniable that Setanta is a good contributor to this forum. He's helped so many members in learning English language. On a case-by-case base, when he's not out of his mind, he deserves respect.

Yes. He is not
enraged ALL the time, not every moment of every day.
Sometimes, he is decent.

Agreed.

Oh, good grief!
Soon we'll be sitting around the campfire singing "Kumbayah".
Where's the venom?
Where's the vitriol?

@George,
I don't think you really need venom and vitriol.

O somebody need you, Lord.
Come by here!
For reason is the Lord!
Come by here!
The Reason Lord,
You're holy crowned!
Save George,
Save Setanta,
Save Izzy!
Let Reason shine from within!
O Lord,
Come by here!
Come with morning smiles.
You are holy crowned!

@oristarA,
We could be good without subscribing to any moral theology.
We can also be bad.
The same is true of those who do subscribe to a moral theology.

I recommend being good in any case.

Okay now, let us move back to the theme of the thread.

A state religion is one of the fundamental sources of spiritual force of the country. That is, the religion plays a vital role in the political life of the nation.

War is a form of political violence. The loss of war will emaciate the political life of the country, thus seriously weaken the state religion.

When the state religion is Christianity, the loss of war will deliver a heavy blow to it. American Revolution made Great Britain a loser in the war; there is naturally a possibility, small or great, that Christianity as its state religion was pummelled during the 8-year-long conflict. The effect would be in some way equivalent to that of a large anti-Christianity movement. The war served as one of contributors, non-neglectable or major, to the actual decline of Christianity in Great Britain.

A country, here refers to "a politically organized body of people under a single government".

Can a body of people be without spiritual forces? No, it can not.
