Since when is renting a building the same as congress establishing a religion?
“Since when is renting a building the same as congress establishing a religion?”
Of course it is nothing of the kind. I cannot understand why if in the 18th and 19th century America, where school were often held in the local church during the week without complaint, does it become an issue today? A similar thing happened here on Long Island a few years ago. Evidently, a public school had been using a local church to hold some classes that they were unable to fit in their school building. One person out of nearly one thousand parents complained and the local judge considered it unconstitutional. It made no sense. But I think it is because that one anti Christian person making the complaint, has views which match the presiding judge’s. What a world.
It isn't. However, you could say you were going to a strip joint on Church Street and the ACLU, which by the way was founded by communists, would consider THAT to be the government establishing a religion.
