Typical cop out Chris. tsk...

The bottom line. The constitution prohibits laws with respect to religion. The atheists, hipocrites, and clerics don't like it any more now than they did when the authors wrote amendment one. The difference now is everything that is public ground or involving govt funding is considered 'the govt'. When your mother moves into that federally subsidized apartment, she better leave her bible behind. No laws means no laws...Unless you think it means no religion in the presence of big brother.

I have two rights granted by the Constitution regarding religion and they are meant to meld into one thing.

Freedom to establish my religion...and congress can make no laws regulating that in any way.

Freedom to the exercise there of... and congress can make no laws regulating that in any way.

Those two have a context in one another. 'There of' is based on what is established. Freedom to the exercise of the religion that is established. What is established is the religion that I may freely exercize.

What do you say "there of" Refers to?

Congress is prohibited from any laws with respect to these two, which are actually one thing.
