So now since you've decided that there's an established religion in Alabama, you can point us to where everyone is required to sign up. The name of this religion? How about the "Great Mystery of the Transcendental M." ROTFLOL!!

How silly.

I suppose you actually think that Govt officials using their position to promote their personal religion in public Govt buildings...is fine UNLESS they pass a law requiring ALL people in the state to sign up for it.
With all due respect this is juvenile.

I think they can hang up whatever they want. It's just art.

And, yes. A LAW must be passed for a religion to be ESTABLISHED.

It isn't established IF people aren't REQUIRED to join it.

If George Bush talks about his Methodism, or Billy Clinton talks about the Baptists, or GHBush speaks of Anglicanism, then I could care less AS LONG AS they don't force me to sign up.

It's America. There's lots of differences out there in the culture. Adults recognize that and don't let it get to them.

The genius of the 1st Amendment is that it said, "Just let everyone be themselves; keep your hand off their religion." That way they didn't have little religious gestapos running around the country tattling and getting in a snit everytime someone said the word "God."
