@shuttersparks She'd be in BIG trouble if the church directed the government.
Also, WHICH church

@jlroberson Which church is one of the problems that the founders considered. There was no clear answer, so the answer was none. Some of the founders were very nervous about this because no country in history had ever been founded not under the auspices of some church or religion. But we did it and we're still here.

Which language was another problem. In 1775, the colonies were roughly split 50/50 German and English speakers plus quite a few Dutch so there is no official language. English is the de facto language.
