Thank you so much for sharing your insight! I am very concerned over the related First Amendment battles. The clause has morphed into a freedom "from" religion rather than a freedom "of" religion. The result may be a state religion, or in this case, official anti-religion.

The issue of state-sanctioned and state-regulated religion is interesting. I agree that we could very well set up something just like state-sanctioned religion in every way except name.

Not that state-sanctioned religion is necessarily a bad thing, it is very popular around the world, but if that is what we are doing by the back door we ought to at least be conscious of what we do.
