"the government shall support any one religion by displaying its texts in a public venue?"

And what religion is being "supported" by the government when the Ten Commandments are displayed on public property?

What does "the free exercise thereof" mean to you? At home, in the basement, with the drapes closed, and in a soft voice? Some concept of freedom you have there.

It's very simple... exerice your religion in a manner that I am not subjected to supporting it financially. I don't care what religion you are, I don't care what you think spiritually in the slightest. Your personal beliefs are none of my business. They become my business when you advocate smearing your beliefs on public property. Don't you understand, I want no part of your spiritual life, that's between you and your god. I have a wonderful view of freedom. Clearly, the nation strongly supports separation of church and state, so in the end... the dreams of a Xtian theocracy that some here seem to advocate is spit in the wind.
