You don't understand the Establishment Clause, lugsoul (BTW, are you a character from The Screwtape Letters?). The Establishment Clause was designed to do two things: prevent the creation of a national religion and to keep the federal government from interfering with state-sanctioned religion.

A 20th Century liberal Supreme Court refashioned the First Amendment into the Judeo-Christian-despising weapon that it is today. It wasn't always so. You possess modern ignorance in abundance.

Oh, Mr. Curry, you dazzle us all with your knowledge. Have you ever argued a 1st Amendment case? I have. Sit back down.

Your post seems to indicate you believe a state can establish a state religion. That is such a ridiculous position it is not worthy of discussion. And if you took the time to read Judge Moore's own words, you would know that is exactly what he wants, as least as far as the law is concerned, in his court.

Tell us all why it is okay if Judge Moore orders a giant cross erected in the chambers of the Supreme Court. Otherwise, read his words and tell us why this is any different.
