I’m still trying to find the “Freedom From Religion” clause in the Constitution.
Am I just being a bit thick? I just can’t find it.
Freedom of Religion I found, but am still looking for the “Wall”.
Your thoughts?
The First Amendment seems to say that there can be no "State Religion", and the government can't rule against religion either.
This means that government entities can't force anyone to participate in religious stuff, and they can't prohibit any practice of religion.
It is wrong for the government to interfere with practices such as these, and they are not supposed to lend support to anyone who would suppress the practice of religion.
Now, on the other hand, nobody should be willing to force the practice of their religion upon those who do not share their faith. Even though I am a Christian, I resented Bible study and prayer in school simply because there were those who made a mockery of it; and, the majority of the people at school were Southern Baptists rather than Lutherans. It is my belief that the practice of religion must be done within groups of like faith. The public practice of religion interferes with other faiths, even when merely a difference in denominations. I was thrilled when Bible study and prayer was prohibited in school because I was no longer under the influence of people not of my own faith.
It is correct and respectful to save these activities for your home and place of worship.
