Bump to the top.

Can anyone tell me where in the Constitution there is a separation of church and state? There is a freedom of religion, but nowhere can I find a forbiddance of religion. Where did the cockameeny idea originate that government was supposed to forbid religion in its structure?

I thought that atheism fit the definition of religion because it is a belief. Does the Constitution specify that the United States should establish atheism?

I wouild be the first to object if this little atheist girl in Kalifornica was forced to utter the Pledge against her will. She could have went to the hallway until the Pledge was over. To deprive the remainder of her class the opportunity to exercise their beliefs is criminal.
