It's a bit of a mixed blessing, the constitution. Yes, technically, they could make Christianity the official religion with a 2/3 vote and state ratification. They could also make Islam the official religion with those votes. Or Buddhism. Or Mormonism. Or Catholicism. Or Pastafarianism. Or Satanism. Or Wiccan. Or anything. Aren't you glad they aren't doing those things?
