Oh well, I established a practice of prayer and meditation in my bedroom. I guess you better send the troops out.

You are wrong. The laws were passed because the vast majority of the people who supported them were religious and did want to establish religion in their lives. They did not want the govt. to pass laws regarding the establishment of religion because they wanted freedom to believe and practice according to their faith. A governmental "LAW" about how to establish religion removes the option of seeking God in my own way. It is equally important that the govt. not pass laws (about the establishment of religion) prohibiting me from seeking God in my own way; and this was clearly and obviously the focus at the time. 'establishment' was never meant to connote anti-religious sentiment. Its FREEDOM of Religion. Of religion. of religion. of religion, NOT AGAINST RELIGION....
