A mention here or there of God does not a religion make. Both Christianity and the Islamic faith, and other faiths, involve the concept of God so the use of the word is ambiguous.

1. A religion deals with issues of ultimate concern; with what makes life worth living; with basic attitudes toward fundamental problems of human existence.
2. A religion presents a comprehensive set of ideas--usually as "truth," not just theory.
3. A religion generally has surface signs (such as clergy, observed holidays, and ritual) that can be analogized to well-recognized religions.

Wonder when the ACLU will get around to trying to amend each states Constitution? Wonder how many people even know their state has a Constitution and what it says? To mouth the words and not practice their meaning isnt going to help. I bet if we just went back to our ROOTS much of todays evils would disappear. jdn
