Mikey Weinstein is pushing ‘freedom from exposure to any facet of Christianity.’ i.e. “free from religion.” He feels threatened by anything related to Christianity and believes it should all be eliminated.

There is an US Government fly-boy/girl academy in that area as well, I believe. (USAFA)

Yup. Poor little Mikey got his feelings hurt by the mean Christians during his smack year and hasn't been able to get over it.

SHOW ME a law that Congress has made which respects an establishment of religion, or prohibits the free exercise thereof, and I’ll show you a violation of the 1st Amendment (1A).

On the other hand…

Instead of doing its duty to exercise its express 14th Amendment powers to strengthen constitutionally enumerated protections, corrupt Congress gets around its 1A prohibitions simply by letting the likewise corrupt courts, state actors, and anybody else who hates religious expression, get away with legislating politically correct, anti-religious expression laws from the bench, including the bench of the mock court of mainstream media.

From the 14th Amendment:

Remember in November!

MAGA! Now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

I assume Weinstein especially hates Colorado Springs because he hates the Air Force Academy...

Atheism is an absence of a belief in God. When you enforce all references to God being taken away, forbidden, you are, by default, endorsing the belief that God doesn’t exist, which is a religious point of view. As a country, we become, ipso facto, an atheistic nation, unconstitutionally.

Is the PX forcing all customers to purchase candy canes? No? Then there's no ‘compelling’ of a religion.

There is no such thing as ‘Jesus candy’, which itself is an insult to the largest religion in the United States and the only religion under which democracy is possible. But if we are going to play that game, then I guess all halal meat is ‘Mohamed meat’ under the same rules, and should be pulled from all institutions/schools/hospitals.

Military Religious Freedom Foundation has obviously forgotten the old saying “There are no atheists in foxholes”.

It’s freedom of religion. Not, freedom from religion.

The FOUNDERS wrote the First Amendment mindful that they came from countries (like England) where Protestants or Catholics were persecuted depending upon who was in charge.

The "Separation of Church and State" occurs NOT in law, and was never intended to preclude Christians from office. It comes from ONE LETTER written by Thomas Jefferson to re-assure a Christian congregation that was worried that one flavor or other of Christianity would become an OFFICIAL church of the new nation. It HAS BEEN USED by people in power to scub the Christian God from the public green, from our schools, and from our collges... all because people are kept in the dark and fed bull$#!+ by liberal educators about the "Wall of Separation". It is there to protect the CHURCH from the STATE.
