Just look at the recent rulings on historical symbols that don't proselytize, like monument crosses, headstone symbols, and Ten Commandment imagery (like what exists in the carvings on the Supreme Court building itself.

The problem is that the rulings going back are not based in Constitutional law. Even early on, the states themselves were allowed to declare what was the official Christian sect for each.
The position of the Constitution is easy enough for even a moron to understand: That the federal government was not to declare itself aligned with a specific sect of Christianity (it was ALWAYS understood that the U.S. Government was Christian, although had they realized the assault on Christianity 150+ years hence, they would’ve spelled it out). Meaning they didn’t want the President serving as head of the American church of whatever sect, a la the King or Queen of England with their church. Simple.
All these “edicts” curbing religious freedoms from the courts have been a blatant violation of the stipulation spelled out, “Shall not prohibit the free exercise thereof.” The courts took the unconstitutional side of “prohibiting.” It was a systematic and deliberate attempt to undermine our basic foundations and morality. We’ve seen the collapse since the purge of prayer from schools, which violated the rights of all the teachers and students who wanted to exercise their rights.
It’s sad that Roy Moore was one of the few jurists who was willing to stand up and say, “NO ! You will not violate my Constitutional rights as spelled out.” To see these termites on FR attacking a man of that courage is sickening.
