I was referring to making laws about morality based upon religion. This is a clear violation of the first amendment's establishment clause.

Then you don't understand the first amendement. Are you suggesting that a law maker has to disregard his religious foundation of morality when voting on legislation?

Because if you are, you're in the wrong country amigo, the old Soviet Union is what you're looking for.

For instance, my religion tells me not to murder. Are you suggesting that having a law proscribing murder is unConstitutional?

Since you are a religious person, you should disqualify yourself from the advocation of all law.

The Constitution according to SItV

No, didn't your mother teach you murder is wrong? Are you saying you have to be religious to think murder is wrong? Give me a break.

We can pass more laws against murder, that is great. You just can't base it on religion, establishing your religion and violating the constitution.
