Why?
Here's the thing you douches keep forgetting. Our founding fathers answered to a higher calling a higher being than society. Therefore Religion was not to be molested (pun intended) by society. because they knew what secularist/mob rules wold ultimately lead to.
You're the one historically challenged. And you conveniently misquoted the Constitution. It's "no law respecting the establishment of religion", sport. They didn't mean to protect religion from government, they meant to protect government from religion. But, just like everything else, the Constitution means whatever the hell you want it to, huh?

So, if you're not allowed to do whatever you want in the name of religion, you lose the power to believe?
no, if people fear the cop sitting in the confessional they will stop confessing. if they can not get forgiveness of their sin (as what confession is for) it will shut down the religion. as what is the point if your unconfessed sins send you to Hell anyway?

Good! No such thing as sin anyway, sport.
