re: #282 Cineaste

What, exactly, is your interpretation of the phrase “the government shall pass no law respecting an establishment of religion”?

I have a pretty big problem with a national religion seeing as how it was one of the few things specifically ruled out in the constitution.

I am not a constitutional scholar, I just know that the post office shuts down on Christmas and not Ramadan or yom kippur…therefore as far as I am concerned, Christianity is the national religon for the USA based upon its heritage, history and culture; again this is not saying that everyone has to be a christian. I as a jew am very comfortable with the Christian nature and values in the USA (as opposed to say saudi arabia or yemen).
