Please understand that I do not hold that a shul does not require a mechitza, I don’t have the requisite halachic knowledge to even attempt to make such a claim. All I’m trying to say is that you’re approaching the issue in the wrong way. You should be making your point halachically rather than dogmatically. What is true is that at least here in England any shul that professes some form of orthodoxy has some form of mechitza, so perhaps orthodox shuls have taken mechitzos to be an identifier for themselves. Again, as I say, at least here in England. I have no idea of the situation in the USA.
