<<And, forgive the tiresome repetition - but my civic loyalty is to the Constitution. I don't think it's fair to call that a religion.>>

Too many contradictions here but I'll try. Your reference to the constitution was disloyal as you chose the pop culture interpretation of the first amendment which forbids religion in public but betrays the intent of the constitution. I didn't call your loyalty to the constitution a religion, I called your stated "belief" system a religion. You stated you believed all students in the united states should be bound to read a specific set of literature. I was speaking metaphorically, I should have said this is like a religion. I have always confused simile and metaphor. Probably had a poor literature teacher in the fourth grade.
