Madison Wrote:Congress should not establish a religion and enforce the legal observation of it by law, nor compel men to worship God in any manner contary to their conscience, or that one sect might obtain a pre-eminence, or two combined together, and establish a religion to which they would compel others to conform (Annals of Congress, Sat Aug 15th, 1789 pages 730 - 731).
The bold is what you should be focusing on. Smile This has been defied in the fact that if a senator or the like runs for office: they damn well better be Christian... cause we'll take a stupid Christian (see Bush?) ANY DAY over a brilliant atheist or agnostic.

That was the thing which the Congress foresaw, and their intent was to possibly avoid such a thing. Great work guys... o.o Tongue
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
