Regarding your last statement, how would a court judge religious truth if it were not allowed to examine religion?

(Hope I restated that satisfactorily) ~ It's simple ~ go to another country.

This is a secular state and religion must never be on the minds of anyone engaged in the business of serving as an agent of the state.

No, you did not restate my question satisfactorily. Your restatement is an entirely different question.

My question was how courts could enforce the religion clauses if they are restricted from making any inquiry that even touches on the subject of religion. I said nothing about the judgement of a "religious truth." I think that you know there is a difference, and I think you are just trying to bait me rather than have a genuine conversation. So, I'm done.

you should be telling that to the members of the school board who attempted just what you are saying should never happen. of course, none of them are engaged in the business of serving as an agent of the state anymore, having been voted out on their collective derrieres.
