I completely agree with that. For me, the Federal Government should be involved in as few things as possible, letting states set most of the policy. If you want to live off the dole, and NY wants to let that happen, then move to NY. That way, people can move to the states that support their beliefs, and we have 50 sovereign states loosely joined and regulated by the Federal Government.
I would even be fine with Virginia proclaiming that it is an Anglican state and Maryland saying it is Catholic. I read the 1A as a restriction on what Congress can do, not the states. That is why I dont like the Federal courts saying that some town cant display Christmas decorations. What amendment restricts a city’s ability to allow or stop it?
On a tangent... Every time I do any research onto that kind of thing, it always boils down to some city bureaucrat denying or forbidding other displays. And then when the courts says he/she can't do that... the little prick just cancels it for everyone. That way, everyone gets treated the same way.
Instead of just letting every religious (or non-religious) group put up a display.
