I wouldn't ban it, but I would also never allow monetary support of churches. As far as separation of church and state, I'm a bit concerned about separating church from conscience of those who represent us in state. Simply put, some folks derive their morality from church doctrine. Are we supposed to ask lawmakers to not think about God when drafting laws?

I'm not sure that's precisely what I mean, but my night's getting a bit rough. I'll revisit this in the morning.
