I agree, which leads me to believe that the majority in the "religious right" are neither religious nor right [correct].I see her, and other uber conservatives, want to use religion as window dressing for unethical, immoral, and un-American attitudes and beliefs. The Supreme court used the status of the court to hide a religious decision. There is a lot of blurry ground in the conservative framework these days. An unholy alliance of two threats to America.
Doesn't use that wording but since Congress is prohibited from establishing a state religion it is reasonable to conclude. Jefferson would go on to explain this position to a Baptist convention and used the "wall" between the two as a reference.An argument is there is no specific mentioning of separation of church and state in the constitution.

It's very vague, same as the gun debate is.
That said, it's not my desire to live in a theocracy. That would be extremely bad news.
I'm tired of the constant blurring and crossing the line between the two.Are you?
Since it already found its way into public laws, ie Sunday blue laws, there needs to be a more clear checks and balances to prevent additional religious based laws from passing in the future.I'm tired of the constant blurring and crossing the line between the two.

Except there is a large amount of historical support dating back to the countries founding.
"The separation of church and state was one of the legacies of the American and French revolutions at the end of the 18th century. It was achieved as a result of ideas arising from opposition to the English episcopal system and the English throne as well as from the ideals of the Enlightenment."
Christianity - Separation of church and state
It's a shame things were never made clear at the start.I'm tired of the constant blurring and crossing the line between the two.
Historical support I find at 2 Chronicles 26:16-21
The king (political) would Not interfere with the duties of the priest (religious) and vice versa.

It's a little difficult in the Bible belt for sureGood luck making that stand up in the SC though.
Yep.The separation MUST continue. The world is in trouble, and we need more critical thinking and less magical thinking.
How else are you going to stop all the wonton killing?Are you?
People who hate constitutional originalism
