Beat your soul, interesting comments. Did you consider that separation of church and state is a communist manifesto deal and not a first amendment deal? There was a court ruling that suggested a wall high and impenatrable to be erected between church and state, but that was not the language of the amendment. Interesting enough, the free exercise clause prohibits gov't involvement with the church, but does not prohibit church involvement with the gov. (but that torqued your shorts). And the establishment clause prevents the gov't from favoring one church over another. Now here's a thought... attack what is unpopular even if it is constitutional, and you do the constitution a disservice. Some members of the ACLU recognize that and as such are willing to go to bat for the church when the church is constitutionally right. But make the church a bad guy, ban it, and then all you need to erode fundamental freedoms in the future is to make the next organization a bad guy and erode it. Just a thought.
