[QUOTE="Proximity, post: 6986679, member: 589997"] I stand corrected, it not in the bill of rights in verbatim. Nevertheless, the intent is still stupidly obvious. "no law respecting an establishment of religion". That means religion is to stay out of government, and of course vice-versa. If religion was tied to our government, then that would be an establishment of religion. It goes beyond the lives of private citizens and protecting their rights. Your small mind obviously can't understand this. If you question the interpretation, there are many sources to back up the interpretation of what the founding fathers meant.
