Ok. I don’t know what the argument is. I said England wasn’t a Christian country. Go far enough back and it didn’t start out one, either.

The comparison was England to Israel. There is nothing remotely similar between the two countries now. There is no country like Israel. It’s unique because it is (1) a ethnostate and (2) is a democracy. To some extent EVERY country has been thinning you look historically. It is closer to South Africa in 80s and the US before the civil war. That’s why it breaks everyone’s brains.

Most countries in Europe were exactly this as well in the 1600s - 1800s. They solved it the same way we did. Wars and ethnic cleansing.

Oh, sorry. I was just responding to the discussion of whether England was a Christian state. My responses on Israel are higher up in another thread.
