Confused Lefties are trying their damnedest to convince people that there is a right not to hear someone talk about religion or see someone pray. There is NO such right. Nobody is forcing you at gun point to swallow the pill. Just walk away and mind your business. In work places, there are usually accommodations provided where people can go to a private setting and do these things. There is no right for the other people in the workplace to be free from such accommodations. Again, just mind your business.

So what is the logical application of "Congress [or a state] shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,"

Does that not mean that no government can establish any custom, rule, regulation or law which would favor one religion or another or not?

Now is it best for a government to avoid establishing a state endorsed religion other than by placing a wall between the state and any religion?

Does allowing a religious display on "public property" constitute a LAW passed by Congress and signed by the President?
As the Courts have ruled... it depends.

Has Congress ever made such a law? Does allowing a religious display on "public property" constitute a LAW passed by Congress and signed by the President?
THINK about it!
It is about what the CONGRESS can and cannot do regarding religion.

He's 100% right.

Notice how his direct quote reads nothing like the provocative headline from Raw Story, "Americans have no right to freedom from religion".

You've been successfully trolled by the liberal media again. "baaaa"

Lefties? The Court both conservative and liberal has consistently ruled that when it comes to certain governmental observances of religious dogma, I have every right not to be imposed upon by someone else's religious mutterings.

Marsh v. Chambers, 463 U.S. 783, 790 (1983).

You live in the most hated country in the world by the GOP, France.

I'm wondering what gives you such a hard right point of view on american politics. Do they have fox news there?

Who cares.

And maybe you just might "hang up and drive."
