It's always good to have an on going argument but:

1. The Founding Fathers were not all enamored by organized religion. Their concerns then are very, very similar to the concerns expressed today about the taking over of public life by religion.

2. The Founding Fathers included slave owners.

3. The Supreme Court said that the aetheist father had, 'no standing' when it came to arguing for his child in court. It didn't discuss the merits of his case.

4. Is it really that difficult to take all religion out of all public forums including schools? What would happen?
