You're welcome to try to change things to suit yourself. It is, after all, a free country.

This won't work with me. The Constitution is quite clear; it says 'establish'.

Swearing on the Bible in court doesn't violate the establishment clause either. Now if a state's legislature passed a law saying that all residents will convert to the Muslim religion at the start of the following year, they would be in violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

My point is that you are not starting with a blank slate. There is already a very large body of caselaw on this topic, and I am sure you are familiar with the term "stare decisis". So if you want things to be the way you prefer them, you'll have to change them.

If it was a requirement, it would. It is not required in any court of law in the United States.
