In fact, most of the liberal congress aren't even going along with this ruling against religion and freedom of speech.

Given the backlash against this ruling (or more commonly the gross misrepresentation of the implications of this ruling), it would be political suicide to endorse or support it. Liberal politicians may be sleazy but they are not stupid. Still, I don't see how it is a ruling against freedom of speech. So far no one has been able to explain exactly how this ruling stifles individual freedom of speech or religious expression; perhaps you could be the first?

BTW, do you believe that most of the constitutional framers and American citizens of the time were athiests and agnostics or believers in God?

Most of the Constitutional framers were theists of some sort, at least thats what I've gathered from their writings. What's your point?

I anticipate nothing but suffering to the human race while the present systems of paganism, deism and atheism prevail in the world.
