Even though I am not even American, I gotta address whhipp's side comment above:
He said: "So much for knowing that there is no such thing as "separation of church and state" in our Bill of Rights and Our Constitution."
Which is only correct in that specific wording was written in a letter, but the spirit is absolutely in the constitution... first amendment even:
The Establishment Clause is the first of several pronouncements in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, stating,
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religionFurther more:
The Free Exercise Clause is the accompanying clause with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause together read:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof... "- <ETM
