The most defining characteristic of the US constitution, what makes a unique document is the idea it introduces that the state should be secular and that no religion should influence the way the state does business.

The USA has lost something major with its retreat into narrow, grandiose and bigoted religiosity since the start of the cold war.
The first amendment guaranty's the free practice of religion sport, not freedom from religion.

Quote:Which is also protected by the second sentence of the first amendment. to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion,....it sure does....
Quote:"impeding the free exercise of religion,"it sure -doesn't-..go, go and sacrifice a maiden to your god in a holy place.....explain, to police, that you were just excercising your constitutionally guaranteed rights.
Quote:To prohibit, a formal deceleration of allegiance to God is again impeding the free exercise of religion.-You- are free to do so all you wish, our government is not, because it's a secular government....and that's to your great benefit as a member of yall qaeda, whether you realize it or not.
