Read above, I’ve made about 3 or 4 posts on the issue, including quotes from Jefferson. There are many here that can’t get it through their heads that there are those of us on the right that choose NOT to practice a religion for many of the same reasons that they choose TO practice a religion.

What's that got to do with "separating" the church from the state? The Constitution proscribes the "establishment" of a religion by the state and it Prohibits the state from interfering with the free exercise of religion. No one should be able to make another person practice a religion. Also, those who don't practice a religion should not be able to outrageously interfere with those who do.

You are perfectly free to do just that. You just don’t get to call the shots on when I do mine.
