I'm very aware of that; I'm just saying there is more than one religion in this country and I am hesitant about making laws about religion.

I don't think you can legislate that anyway.

You don't need to make new laws, just repeal some unconstitutional laws and overturn some bad court decisions. We need to reinstate the first amendment in all its majestic glory as America's guiding light to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion. Americans will take care of the rest.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,"

I agree wholeheartedly.

"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

Yup. We need to repeal all laws and bad court decisions that prohibit, infringe, abridge or otherwise restrict the right of the people to freely exercise their religion.

"or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Yup again. We need to repeal McCain/Feingold and all such unconstitutional acts, laws and bad court decisions that abridge the right of the people to freedom of speech. etc. The congress is in direct violation of the first amendment anytime they try to restrict or regulate anything to do with our right to speak out for or against the government and or for or against any candidate or issue. The government's attempt to restrict or control free speech/free religion/freedom of assembly is tyranny in its highest form.

The Founding Fathers set forth the people's right of recourse when a government turns to tyranny:

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

See also the second amendment and realize why conservatives do not elect gun grabbers to high office.
