By the way, Communitarianism is involuntary, and you don't have that here. Communitarianism

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness..."

--Thomas Jefferson, "The Declaration of Independence," 1776

Oh, oh...Jefferson, by your very definition, is engaging in " State religious activities "...

Keyes says there is a:

-- "right of the people of the states to live under a government that reflects their religious inclination."

---- Sorry, but that is a communitarian idea, not one you can find in our constitution. A religious majority in a state has no delegated power to declare their religion to be government approved.

Such a concept is repugnant to the religious freedom of all their peers who must live in that same state.

The state religion idea was rejected firmly when Utah applied for admission, and it took Utah almost 50 years to come up with a constitution that guaranteed an acceptable republican form of government.
