It is in the Constitution... I googled it.

Article 52 states, “the church is separated from the state”. Section 1, Article 14 states, “...shall be a secular state. No religion may be instituted as state-sponsored or mandatory religion. Religious associations shall be separated from the state,” Also in the 1918, the 1924 and 1936 Constitution of the ......USSR.

....Oh wait wrong Constitution.... Sorry (/sarc)

Great post. To achieve their goals the left must destroy or at least minimize the influence of religion. Once that tradition is beaten, all that is left is the family. People will continue to believe in something, and the left assumes that something will be the government.

...Every official state document is dated using the Birth date of Jesus the Christ.You can't register your dog,or get a driver's permit for your kid without acknowledging the birth of Jesus by signing your name and placing the date in the passing of years since his birth.
Today's date is not to mark the founding of the country,nor the fall of Rome,nor the final episode of Friends, the Bombing of Pear Harbor,nor when "Dan'l Boone kilt a Bar".It's the single most paramount event in all of the western world,so important that we reckon all time before the event by counting backwards to its date and all time after by counting from that event.
It is 2006 years and some days since the Birth of Jesus.That is a religious reckoning of the years.It is a Testament of faith in a sense.Since "...Congress shall make no law..." I hereby demand the state stop using my religious calendar for its godless insidious purposes.ALL state documents bearing church calendar dates must be destroyed,all currencies,all school records,deeds,records -Births Deaths,Marriages all copyright claims patents etc-all books using that system shall be deemed offensive and burned,everything must be destroyed and a new state system must be used.
Stop using my Church designed calendar for your Godless insidious works....
Then and only then will we achieve true separations of Wheat from chaff-er I mean Church from state....
..unless of course that would be too expensive and troublesome.Then I suppose we could grandfather the current dating system in and make allowances for tradition.Unfortunately some smart guy like me would then try and grandfather local Christmas celebrations back into schools,reasoning that if the dating system is based on Jesus' birth how could it be offensive to celebrate that season?...
Naw better to destroy all the records and start all over,wouldn't want to offend anyone would we?.....
...sarcasm off...
Humbly submit July 24 Two Thousand and Six years from the birth of Jesus the Christ.

Commie Constitution, maybe...

Listen, long before Ann Coulter's book "Godless" and long after --- people will realize that it's nonsensical to have a separation. The Atheist and the Theist will long be vying for power of the State.

To say otherwise is to be a fool and to not live in reality.

O, and the sad things is that when Commies are in charge they shoot you as you try to jump over the wall or they go off and kill 100 Million in a given century... what's up with that?

The only provision that formally separates relgion and state is the provision that prohgiubts any relgious test for public office.
