Hoisted on your own petard. No individual group of people, say the ACLU, have the right or power to deprive the rest of us of our constitutional rights. The ACLU (or none of the other groups you listed) have the power to nullify the first amendment. The first amendment guarantees certain free speech and religious rights to ALL of the people, not some of the people. If the ACLU is offended by that, then that's just too damned bad.

"The first amendment guarantees certain free speech and religious rights to ALL of the people, not some of the people."

Perhaps that is the answer to my question. If so, Roy Moore disagrees with you.

"By leaving religion undefined, the Court has opened the door to the erroneous assumption that, under the Establishment Clause, religion could include Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and whatever might occupy in man's life a place parallel to that filled by God." - Judge Roy Moore

"Americans are free to worship other Gods only because the Judeo-Christian God, and the Judeo-Christian God alone, allows for freedom of conscience." - Judge Roy Moore
