No they don't read the US Constitution anymore. The left would prefer we read the one below (be sure to pay close attention to "Article 52").

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

Last time I checked, Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, Judaism, whatever ism hasn't been designated "the official religion of the United States".

or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

It's obvious that the first amendment was geared towards protecting religious freedom, not suppressing it.

The Michael Newdows et al are what the first admendment was written for. A bunch of religion-policing Nazis telling everybody else what to believe or what is "acceptable" conduct.

....or in other words, to be trite, our black robed friends have shifted "freedom of religion" to "freedom from religion.

Why is it that the more I read the former Soviet Constitution, the more I think of this:

"Open the pod bay doors please, Hal."

HAL: "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
