"..If Christian was changed to muslim how many would still support that parent?

The "separation of church and state" is not to be found in our Constitution. The teachings of the Koran are not compatible with our Bill of Rights. But that is the subject of another discussion.

Very true, the words “separation of church and state” are not found in our constitution. And is it not ironic that the church is found in nearly every signer of the constitution. Almost every signer was a church member, and was a founder of the American Bible Society.
Dr. Benjamin Rush (1745-1813) was one of the yougest signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. He held the first chemistry professorship in America. He published the first Americian chemistry textbook. He was apponinted by President John Adams as the Treasurer of the United States mint in 1797, which he held until 1813.
Dr. Rush wrote, “I believe no man was ever instructed in the truths of the Bible without having been made wiser or better by the early operations upon his mind.”
He also wrote “Why the Bible should be taught in our public schools.” And he also warned what the results would be if we neglected to teach the Holy Scriptures. He stated, “The sciences have been compared to a circle, of which religion composes a part. To understand any one of them perfectly, it is necessary to have some knowledge of them aa. Bacon, Boyle, and Newton included the Scriptures in the inquiries to which their universal geniuses disposed them, and their philosophy was aided by their knowledge in them.
My summation: “I believe the truth, both of science and the Bible are not in conflict, but in harmony. Truth science will never dimenish our faith, but will confirm it.”
