I totally agree. I believe the Founding Fathers wanted to keep the state out of the church by keeping the churh out of the state. Once it starts to creep in, how many denominations will then vie for prominence in the Government? Baptits will be fighting Mormons will be fighting Catholics for more money and sway within the government.

Interesting, so we have to keep all religions out of the public square entirely? Name one church or denomination that will be offended by the presence of the 10 Commandments?

Careful. Good point you make, but ... The "Church of the Politically Correct" will be "offended" by any deviancy from a wholly secular public arena.

That way, they have in the backdoor established Secularism as the State religion. (Here's a way to check: *If* Secularism *was* the state religion - what would be different in the Govt, schools, etc.? What?)

Of course, some of these ACLU extremists are just like the Red Guard of Mao's China. They'd be the first to send the dissenters to "re-education" camps if they had a free hand in it.
