OK, lets be clearer.

The establishment clause only talks about Congress making no law that promotes one religion over another.

From that basis, let's take a new look at all of it.

Let's also consider the context Jefferson wrote that in, "It neither breaks my back, nor picks my pocket what another man believes." Not bad conditions overall - don't make me contribute to your state religion, and your religion better not physically affect me in any way.

NOW let's have a debate. No amendment has been turned upside down in its meaning and context like the first amendment.

"It neither breaks my back, nor picks my pocket what another man believes." Not bad conditions overall - don't make me contribute to your state religion, and your religion better not physically affect me in any way.

That's where I stand. I prefer the government remain neutral in regard to religion, neither promoting it nor hindering it in any way.
