I see no problem with kids saying a prayer in school or at a school football game or graduation if that's what they wanted to do.

Why is not buying beer on Sunday such a problem? You can't buy it on election day before noon.
Why wouldn't you just buy your beer on Saturday and buy enough for Sunday?
Why do people still have unwanted pregnancies? With Aides, I would think everyone should at least be using a condom. Why do we need government funded abortion?
The first amendment does not say seperation of church and state. It does seem that lately the government would like it to be "freedom from religion" But what it really says is that the federal government should not interfere with the individual right to practice (or not) their religion.
The issue isn't who paid for it. The issue is whether the the intent or effect is civil authority over religion.Ah but the People who fight against such things do not discriminate between things that are paid for by the Feds, and a cross some people put up to memorialize dead police officers at their own Expense now do they.
There is no copy of the Ten Commandments hanging in the U. S. Supreme Court. However, there is a depiction of Mohamed on the wall in the Supreme Court Chamber, which proves this isn't a Christian Nation.A copy of the Ten Commandments still hangs in the Supreme court.
From the Jeffersonian perspective (power limited to those enumerated and no general power to provide for the general welfare), religion, even without the First Amendment, was totally exempt from the cognizance of the U. S. Government.The key words the extreme secularists ignore in both the clauses in the Constitution they sight to justify their Extreme Idea are the words "congress shall make no law".
I agree. The test should be whether the intent or effect of the display on state land constitutes civil authority over region.The mere act of allowing a religious symbol on state land does not constitute the congress making a law that restricts free worship or establishes a religion.
Buy your beer on a Saturday.... problem solved.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
I have no problem with "In God We Trust" printed on our money
True. But, it does separate Congressional legislative authority from religion, and the "wall of separation" phrase coined by Jefferson is a reasonable, but misleading, label for the First Amendment's religious clauses.The first amendment does not say separation of church and state.
I would have no problem with the tenants of the Koran being displayed in public either. Or the star of David or any other religious symbol. But I guess the schools, federal buildings could get quite crowded, if everyone wanted to display their religious symbol. I suppose the "no religious symbols" keeps the conflict to a minimum.
My religion allows for others to have theirs, I know this is not always the case.

It was a letter he wrote to someone to convince that we should not do something...I got the impression that what we shouldn't do was take over another country because we didn't have the capacity to govern another nation.Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Although Adams didn't write the damn Constitution. It was Madison.

Jefferson's remarks in his famous letter to the Baptists are misleading in the sense that they suggest that the Constitution, before the First Amendment was established, granted the U. S. Government power over religion. Jefferson should have said it way he did six years later in his letter to Reverend Miller.
I consider the government of the United States as interdicted by the Constitution from intermeddling with religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises. This results... from the provision... that...reserves to the states the powers not delegated to the United States. Certainly, no power to prescribe any religious exercise or to assume authority in religious discipline has been delegated to the General Government.

I often wonder the same thing.Why is not buying beer on Sunday such a problem?
Because it's stupid and restricts liberty for no good reason.
Why wouldn't you just buy your beer on Saturday and buy enough for Sunday?
Why can't you just not have those damn laws and let people make their own decisions about when to buy alcohol. Is that such a problem?
