We are not talking about a national religion. If he were to do that, it would be laughable. The issue is the separation of church and state.........Bush is attempting to dilute that separation. That's my complaint.

There is nothing in the constitution about the "separation of church and state". Congress is specifically restricted from declaring a national religion, but that is all.


BS........more horse puckey made up by the right. The FF were adamantly against the interwining of church and state and they made that very clear in the Constitution and well as in their own personal commentary.

They had the experience of the Church of England and the Catholic Church in France to guide them.....both of which showed how damaging the chruch could be when aligned with the state.

The FF were adamant and clear.......the separation of church and state is a fundamental precept of our society. Its an excellent rule and has done us well over the centuries.
