Default Re: Separation of Church and State

Please re-read the First Amendment. It forbids establishment of a state religion. It says nothing of any impenetrable wall between religion and the state.

While I am not in any way in favor of mixing religion and government, let us not create non-existent clauses in the Constitution.
In case it wasn't apparent, sarcasm is yet another free service I offer.

Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay -- and claims a halo for his dishonesty.---- Robert A. Heinlein
