The great thing about the form of government set up under the consistution is that it would allow states to operate with freedom. One state could favor the earth goddess if enough people agreed to it. Another state could be mormon, another atheist. This was left up to the states outside of federal control. What we have now is most power concentrated in the federal government and when that happens it starts to dictate things that were originally left up to the states. It was supposed to a great experiment because the states were free to try different things and the other states could learn from what happens in that microcosm and apply the lessons learned. When there's one big overseer there's no chance for that to work.

So we should start practicing religious segregation? Why not just break the US up into separate countries by faith?

Better yet, let's just put all the Atheists in the desert. That way we can get a feeling of what Hell will be like.

And if the First Amendment is not applicabe to the States (by way of the Fourteenth Amendment), some states could have freedom of speech and press and other states could forbid private ownership of newspapers or make it illegal to criticize state officers.

That might be a big price to pay for this monument. ;-)
