For some strange reason the establishment clause has gotten twisted to mean that no one in government can even acknowledge the existence of God or say or do anything that is remotely religious in public. You mean, like wearing an article of clothing with religious significance to school?

I was talking about putting the Ten Commandments in a court house or maybe placing the Nativity Scene in the PUBLIC town square. The First Amendment to the Constitution protects both of those actions even if the government does it. If the government said that all Americans HAD to be Christians, that would be attempting to establish a religion. Our government doesn't do that because the Constitution prohibits it.
