I think the liberal view of separation of church and state allows interference in religious practices, if the liberals claim that such practices discriminate.

We could very well see a round of lawsuits in the near future, over homosexual marriage, due to this very issue of discrimination. I can’t think of any mainstream religion which allows homosexual marriage, so the liberals would claim that all of these churches discriminate. If we ever get to 50 state homosexual marriage, the goal posts will have been moved. The gay activists will not settle for just having civil marriage open to same-sex couples. They will then seek to have churches perform homosexual marriage.

This is not pie in the sky. Some gay activists have said as much, that they see churches policies on marriage as standing in their way.

I would love to see the Supremes rule:

The Constitution explicitly states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".

There is NO wording in the Constitution giving the Federal Government power to regulate discrimination on the basis of sex or sexual orientation.

Any law or regulations which purport to give any federal entity the authority to question the decisions of any religious or religious-associated institution are hereby cancelled.

Let them have fun with that.
