Amendment I - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The Constitution does prevent the government from PREVENTING the free exercise of religion. Banning it from the public arena, including public schools is unconstitutional. There is no such thing as a wall of separation or the guarantee of separation of church and state. Allowing it is not establishing it. So the Constitution does address the practice of religion in PUBLIC schools. It allows it. It doesn't relegate it to only church as if people who believe in some sort of god are second class citizens.

LOL! That's such a crock. The constitution says no such thing. Nice try though.

You are correct. The Constitution has been badly misinterpreted in the last 60 years regarding religion.

But IDers didn't attack the bogus court decisions regarding religion, they attacked firmly established science. That was a stupid move, that wasted money, time, and cost them political capital and credibility.

Evolution is fact, and the sooner culture warriors stop attacking it, the sooner they can make changes that really matter, like abortion, etc.

One says its a crock and another says its correct.

You cant win.
