re: #555 gmsc

In other words, no states ban atheists from public service.

The fact that they passed such a law was my point. As with the anti evolution laws, the courts will strike them down, but the party pushing passage still looks silly.
Stopping bills unconstitutional bills before passage makes more sense, but then the religious right could not blame the ACLU or the liberal courts for striking then down. They do the same with some abortion bills, passing the most restrictive bill to score points with the base knowing full well it will not stand.
