It is a historical fact that in Ireland under British rule, if one member of an Irish family converted to Anglicanism from Catholicism, that person inherited and the Catholic descendants could not.

It is a historical fact that the Anglican Church, the Church of England, was not founded by an individual who claimed to receive a prophetic message from God to found a new church to worship Him as He wanted to be worshipped, or by an individual who studied the Scriptures and found errors in Catholic doctrine. Instead, it was created by Henry VIII, who is known to have committed liquidate, adultery, and to have debased the coinage, and to have been unrepentant of those things. People in Britain were under compulsion, in violation of the tenet of the Eternal Law of God revealed in the First Amendment to the Consbreastution of the United States of America, to convert from Catholicism to membership in this new church.
Categorizing the Church of England as an artificial, politically-created religion, as opposed to a *natural* religion, founded for religious reasons, and joined freely by those who found it more inspiring, is, thus, not false or ignorant. Now, one could say that many of the "natural" religions were also spread with a lot of compulsion, though; Catholicism itself, and Lutheranism in Germany, for example - thus compromising their natural status, as they became "established churches" perverted to political ends.
