So how did that refute what I said?

And freedom of religion is a right specifically mentioned in our Constitution, a right "incorporated" by the US Supreme Court, and not in any way unalienable, as seen throughout history, as even seen in our country.

Government has chosen to endorse religion in this case. The Courts have struck them down. Sorry that you don't like it, but it's only the things that are disliked that are protected by the Constitution. Popular speech and popular religions don't need protecting--just the unpopular things.

Rather thoroughly.

What you're failing to grasp, inspite of what I posted to you earlier, is that the only rights we have are "unalienable." That's what distinguishes them from privileges. The Founders understood this, you don't.

Rights come from God, priveleges come from government. Privleges can be revoked by government, rights cannot. Rights cannot be revoked, because we are endowed with them by our Creator.

The Founders held some truths to be self-evident. That the logical conclusions of those self-evident truths is not apparent to you, is apparent.

You are refuted by your own words.

Freedom of religion.

Not freedom from religion.

What?! Religion doesn't need protection?! Would you call Christianity a "popular" religion these days! Certainly not to the 9th Circuit!

Consider this: You have rights because God gave them to you. If an understanding of God is taken out of public life, then your rights are left ot the whim of government. God gives rights...government protects them. That is all.
