Tem Moffett refers to "a basic US Constitutional principle, the
separation of church and state." Hmmm . . . I wasn't aware this was
a basic US Constitutional principle. This idea is nothing more than
complete metaphorical misrepresentation of the basic premise of the
establishment clause, "Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion. . ."
This has become a major distortion thanks to the "interpretation" of
laws (and in many instance the out and out making of laws) by the
liberal side of the Supreme Court. The establishment clause was
designed to prevent the establishment of a "state religion", not
Christian Theism. As a result of the Supreme Court's work, we are
witnessing the gradual obliteration of Christian Theism and the
establishment of laws promoting humanism as a "state religion".
Is this not exactly what the establishment clause in our constitution
was intended to prevent? The Constitution is now allowing the
government to force "nonconformists" to accept and live by "humanism".
A definite turnabout of the true nature of our First Amendment
rights.
