Can you read? I didn't say anything about the government prohibiting free exercise. What I addressed was prohibiting the government from promoting the exercise of a specific religion. I don't know how you read history if that is a demostration of your reading comprehension skills.

What I addressed was prohibiting the government from promoting the exercise of a specific religion.The first amendment requires neutrality as regards religion.
However, we have a slight problem because for my entire adult life the government has been promoting secular humanism to the exclusion of religion. What now?
