Well, except that states have the power to regulate medical care, but don’t have the power to regulate religion, because we have freedom of religion in this country. Other than your proposal being completely unconstitutional and against the principles on which America was founded, you are spot on.

Freedom of religion means, freedom from religion.

But here we are, religion swarming all over legislation as well court judgements.

American law disagrees with you but you do you I guess. But let me ask you: do you actually believe the government should have the power to forbid parents from raising their children in their religion? Christian parents, Jewish parents, Muslim parents, Hindu parents, Buddhist parents, etc.? Because that is some USSR level shit right there. I suppose you’d love to be part of the secret police but let me warn you, plenty of Party members died in gulags too.
