Separation of Church and State is a Strong Solid Principle



Just for the Record

A very good review on this subject can be seen in the short segment from MSNBC the NOW show with Alex Wagner that follows:



A review is in order on this topic from Cornell law here

ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE


The First Amendment's Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.”  

This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. 

It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion, or non-religion over religion.  

So, if the GOP right wingers (mostly) are such staunch believers in the constitution and less government, how can they also stand for this concept?? Kind of hypocritical isn't it? I'd say so.
