You guys are wrong about the Constitution being drawn up by "the religious right" It was a political document hashed out by pragmatic free thinkers, (Who certainly blew the "render unto Caesar" thing ) Big money capitalists, and latent Royalists.
The purpose of the document was to establish a stable unified administrative process to protect "Life, Liberty, and Property. Thereby making a bankrupt fledgling nation more attractive to the European investment community that actually funded our Industrial revolution.That is why the "Bill of rights was tacked on to the end as amendments instead of being included in the body of the document.
As for public prayer, fine fell free to pray to God all you want, but if you turn around and tell me I can't pray to the Goddess or Ra or who ever, I will kick you in the nuts.
I have no problem with you worshiping as you wish, (except Islam, any religion that says my head should be chopped off can kiss my azz
) but don't tell me I'm wrong because I believe different, that is pure arrogance.
