Satanic Temple not covered by ANY of the freedom of religion laws, because it is a self-admitted parody organization, NOT advocating religion, but rather trying to skewer other organizations. These fraudster THUGS should be jailed.

"Earlier this month, a judge dismissed a Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) lawsuit against the Orange County School District seeking to overturn a school board decision allowing for the dissemination of religious materials in public schools – a move viewed as a blatant breach of the separation between church and state. The ruling also left open the option that if Christian groups can disseminate literature – atheist groups will have the same right."

Regardless of how the atheists fantasize that it is so, there is no "separation of church and state" in the Constitution. It all stems from the deliberate misinterpretation of a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to a council of churches when he was president. This is, incidentally, the only instance I can think of wherein the leftists use an extraneous writing to make an argument stick. They certainly don't use the Federalist Papers to the same effect--because those don't say what the leftists want them to say.

The First Amendment states:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Common decency would have kept these nutjobs in the shadows where they belong, if only decency were still reasonably common.

Churches used to hand out bibles and copies of the new testament in schools when I was a kid. No harm came to any of us as a result.
