The US currently implements (and I support) one of the most thorough versions of religious egalitarianism anywhere in the world, which dates to the work of James Madison (whose writing on the topic is instructive). The UK, on the other hand, has a state religion (Anglicanism), and many countries in Europe (including Germany and Sweden) retain a "church tax". Does that qualify as "Gilead"?
