If you fight tooth and nail to keep religion out of the public forum, how do you square the fact that the Congress that drafted and passed the First Amendment also created the office of the Congressional chaplain and reauthorized the Northwest Ordinance that specifically called for federal funding of religious schools in the territories governed by the national government?

I simply don't agree with those measures. I totally believe in the first amendment, IE. your right to worship as you see fit without fear of persecution from the gov. or another party within the union (or outside) Again, I do not agree with the USA gov in any way furthering the cause, or acting in the interest of organized religion, beyond protecting it's right to exist.
