At some point, people are going to realize that Bushism is a direct threat to the US Constitution's separation of church and state.

Don't pay attention to the morons on the thread who would take you statement literally...the establishment clause in the Bill of Rights says...Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...

The Kentucky proposal blatantly violates this principle, which is why it's proposers are running away from it. Here's what Jefferson wrote on the first amendment

Believing that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their Legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State (Letter to the Danbury Baptists, 1802).

Don't you wish that today's political minds thought so highly and spoke so nobly? These men were genius well before their time. Our modern politicians, like bush for example, have degraded to unintelligible stutter of non sense. .
