No American court has the right, under our current constitution, to make religious inquiries. Period. We don't even ask people what their formal religious affiliations might be in the census.

It's positively medieval to even think of such a thing. I'm outraged the matter came up in court. That judge needs to be removed so he can go home and play with his rack and other instruments of torture in his basement where he can't bother civilized people.

Huh? I'm kind of baffled by this statement. Where in the constitution does it say this?

Normally, no. But religion was the board's motivation for pushing ID into a government-funded curriculum, so the board was the one that put religion on the table.
