YAY for them.
This country was founded on freedom of religion. You can judge your patriotism by how much you back up the constitution even if you disagree with it at times. That is what makes America great.
If this happens, it weakens every time you guys mention the constitution. Its hypocritical.
It was not founded on freedom of religion. It was founded on representation. I have yet to see were freedom of religion was stated as one of the causes of the Revolutionary War. The Pilgrims left England to escape religious persecution not to practice religious freedom. In fact they did not practice religious tolerance or freedom. All you have to do is look at the Salem Witch trials.
The Constitution that everyone seems to want to throw around to prove points was written and then freedom of religion was added later. That is why it is an amendment. The founders of this country wanted to make sure the people were represented and that not one part of the government would grow to powerful.
The Bill of Rights were promised so that all the States would ratify the Constitution. They were put into place so that those in charge could not do what had been do to them by English leadership.
Um...you DO know that wasn't the Pilgrims....right?
