‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...’ I do not believe the word church is included in that amendment.

You have to read the words of the founding fathers to understand what they meant by 'religion'.

It wasn't ALL religions, rather, only Christian based religions.

This particular amendment had to do with the concerns raised by two different christian denominations.

Read what they were, then you understand clearly what this amendment really means.

I don't have the page handy at the moment.
