The Coronation of Charles III is a religious service.

[speak easy]

Charles will be crowned head of the Church of England, divinely appointed by God.

If you are watching the service , keep in mind that this is the very thing rejected in the First Amendment: Henry VIII's State Religion.

17. Incorrect...

The title is “supreme governor,” not “head.” This change was made during the reign of Elizabeth I, symbolizing that the monarch was the in charge of administering the operation of the C of E, but without the authority to define new dogmas or doctrines; that matter was reserved for the bishops of the church itself.

Plus, “Henry VIII’s state religion” is deceptive. Before the C of E split from Rome under Henry, it certainly had a state religion of Roman Catholicism.

And, although it certainly isn’t your intent, you are unwittingly echoing a talking point of modern-day Christian Nationalism: that the purpose of the First Amendment was to free the country from “mushy, liberal” Anglicanism, so “true, Bible-based Christianity” could arise and become the foundation of our nation.

20. What do you SUPREME means?

or Governor for that matter?

The Governor of a State is not the head of the executive?

11. Regarding religious freedom in the first amendment,

there's an interesting part of American history on that.

Puritan colonists in America did not seek to establish religious freedom in their colonies. They established religious freedom for themselves only. All people of other faiths were driven from the colonies, or imprisoned, or executed if caught for a third time.

Ironically, it was the British who enforced religious tolerance on the colonies. When Britain sent soldiers to protect the colonies from invasion attacks by the French, the colonial governments in New England refused to let them have their own churches until the British government forced them to allow it.

But, colonial governments still charged everyone a tax, regardless of membership, for the maintenance of the Puritan church and for the salaries of the ministers. Only full members of the Puritan church had voting rights in colonial times. Connecticut was still doing that after the US was established until ordered to stop.

Our nation's founders learned from their experiences right here in America, not just from Europe, since we had a colony established for Catholics (Maryland), and most of the southern colonies had Anglican churches. Several Baptists had arrived in New England and there were Quakers in PA and NJ.

To accommodate everyone, including the Deist founders, freedom of religion was put into the first amendment.

14. And you didn't know the King is the head of the Church of England?

As his Mother was the head of the Church of England. I don't see your point.

18. Neither of them were...

…they were the “governor,” not the “head.” The last British monarch named “head” of the Church in England was Edward VI, Henry VIII’s son, who died in 1553.

21. "Elizabeth II's 70 years as head of the Church of England"

https://religionnews.com/2022/06/03/elizabeth-iis-70-years-as-head-of-the-church-of-england/

King Charles III's coronation
"The palace describes it as "a solemn religious service" and it acknowledges the king's role as both the head of state and head of the Church of England. The king is the Church's Supreme Governor."

Obviously the palace does not have a cue
