  1. I did a google search to see what this university was all about.  It's like complete right wing propaganda freak show from denial of science, denial on the environment, oligarch worship, etc. It's a lunatic fringe non school aka its website is a .com rather than a .edu website. What a bunch of con artists. Peaked my interest because they we're historically inaccurate for the most part. Very vague lacking quite a bit of detail on how the colonies functioned, and mixing how the colonies functioned at various times in history until the US Constitution was adopted which prevents states from establishing a religion, nor taking a religious test for office. They're timelines were mixed in after describing the later years in the 1800's the begin describing colonial law instead of US law and state law under US constitutional law. Was very purposely jumbled.   As for the content and conclusion: Thank the pilgrims? Are you kidding? And you talk about Rhode Island, saying that's why it was setup, sure was. Was because the intolerance of the Massachusetts pilgrims, the puritans who came here, kicked Roger Williams out of the colony of Mass., Roger Williams then setup a colony in Rhode Island. And it doesn't end there. Library of congress provides laws and many accounts on how the colonies were always at each other's throats. Religion in the American colonies was not tolerant. The Puritans actually formed a law of execution on the Quakers. And so much more. In fact Mass. Puritans ended up hanging a lady after her 4th run in on preaching her Quacker crap. No, I'll thank the US constitution and the politicians of that time that didn't ignore or play games with history, and in doing so reflected on the strife that religion intolerance had caused in Europe and in the Colonies, therefore by not ignoring history as you bozos are doing, they ensured non-establishment of religion and non-religious test for office clauses in the 1st Amendment and the other in the 6th Article. http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel01-2.html I couldn't let these quacks get away with dumbing people down any further. The populations as in all times are always in general dumb enough, we never want the populations to be any dumber for everyone's sake. Otherwise we don't get advances in morality like religious tolerance. How dare they call themselves University.
