"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…"

Seems pretty clear-cut to me.

Seems pretty clear-cut to me.

There is a vast difference between 'separation of church and state' and that sentence. And it has not application in this case. As others have pointed out there is no freedom from religion.
It is not at all 'clear cut' because any law 'separating' church from the state is 100% prohibiting the free exercise thereof…"
The founding fathers all agreed that this was a Christian country in that the laws are founded on Christian principles and on the underlying belief that rights are innate and come from a creator. To bring back the comparison to Communism that you so casually dismissed, in that system the assumption was that rights came from government and could be taken away by the same for 'good of society'. Christian based laws are what give us the great country we have while communism leads to all kinds of atrocities.

Being guaranteed the free exercise (or not) of religion is not the same as being guaranteed you will never be effected by it or have to hear anything about it.

And where in this story is there anything having to do with either.

Since when does a store not being open on Sunday infringe on your right not to practice a religion? There's nothing in the Constitution that says you have a right to Chik-Fil-A on demand.

Nobody's forcing religion on you by refusing to work on the Sabbath, either Saturday or Sunday.
