Yes it may say that, but again this goes back to the beginning of the posts in this thread... this country was founded on religious principles, regardless of what the constitution says. Our founding fathers were all Christians from Europe (or at least majority).

And if church are state are truly separated, why do they say a prayer before opening a session in Congress? Why does our money say "in God we trust?"

To SCOTTSMYMAN: I understand that posting in this thread really isn't going to change anyone's minds. If my sole intent was to change someone's mind, I would refrain from posting in such threads because I know that will most likely never happen. I enjoy reading and partaking in debates. Please understand that any of my posts are not to be taken as mad, angered or other such way. I am simply rebutting comments made by others. I don't want my comments to be taken personally or insulting. I am posting my personal feelings and love to hear others. In my eyes, threads like this are more for entertainment purposes than anything else. If others have different feelings regarding debates, that's fine, however I am just letting you know my take on threads like these. Feel free to continue debating, even though we'll never change each others' minds.
