You're making some powerful arguments, Tim - #reply-17280015 ... i'm inclined to lean your way in it at this point, separation of church and state should be inviolable imho, it is not however threatened by freedom of expression of the individual .... necessarily ... could be in some circumstances, quite easily .... again, as in so many things, the freedom of one is limited by the freedom of the other, judgments must be made as to where lines are drawn

People should just lighten up, whatever they believe ... that being said, i claim my right to chant the radical agnostic mantra anywhere, guvmint propitty or no

¡doh! i dunno
¡doh! i dunno
¡doh! i dunno

are those religions?
I thought we were talking about religion
I was talking about religion
Maybe you've gone on to another topic
If so I've no idea what it is- except that religious ideas and secular ideas are different, which the framers seemed to understand.

Our Constitution makes a special distinction about religious ideas, which I think is warranted. There isn't any clause about the government not establishing environmental policies for everyone, that I am aware of, anyway.
