The amendment reads: "To secure the people's right to acknowledge God according to the dictates of conscience: The people retain the right to pray and to recognize their religious beliefs, heritage and traditions on public property, including schools. The United States and the States shall not establish any official religion nor require any person to join in prayer or religious activity."

A fitting Amendment that shouldnt be necessary, but sadly is, due to the Supreme Court re-writing of the constitution.

Isn't that just a rewrite of what the first amendment already says, just wordier?
