[QUOTE="air_dr, post: 876765, member: 29929"] Careful here: The constitution does NOT have a specific reference to "separation of church and state." The 1st ammendment reads "Congress shall make no law regarding the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." The traditional understanding of those words meant that Congress will not establish a national, state sponsored church, like say the Church of England, legally require people to attend worship services, or have courts give opinions on doctrinal issues like the appropriateness of infant baptism, for example. The first ammendment was NOT historically understood to be a prohibition of public prayer events or the call to sidelining the faithful when creating public policy. [/QUOTE]
