Is Paganism a religion?

If so, then this violates the First Amendment AS DEFINED BY LIBERALS!!!

Yes. The christians sued because they were being excluded, and they thought it would be great if they could send religious notices home.

Now that another religion is taking advantage of it, some aren't so sure they like the new rule.

What they want is for only the prefered religions to be allowed to send stuff home with the kids, not all the other "odd-ball" religions.

It's the downside to pushing what is really the appropriate position of the state being neutral regarding religion, the state can't then discriminate between religions any more than it discriminated AGAINST a religion.

Some people are happy with a little mixing of church and state so long as it's THEIR church that gets mixed, and not some OTHER church.
