Greetings;

On a slightly different (and hopefully nicer) topic, I am wondering if =
anyone could explain to me how our current understanding of separation =
of church and state is supported by the constitution, because it really =
doesn't seem to be. In exemplum, I don't think that the argument against =
having Bibles in public schools because that breaches the first =
ammendment holds any water whatsoever. Perhaps I'm mistaken. If so, =
please explain...

Thanks and have a great evening!

Benjamin
