Posted by AlM on Wed Jul 27 15:37:36 2011, in response to Re: Those atheists are at it again, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Wed Jul 27 13:39:38 2011. Why do some continue to insist "separation of church and state" is something that exists within the Constitution?Petty point. Any substantial non-separation of church and state would require legislation and therefore violate the clause you cite. A more substantive question would be: why has the Supreme Court consistently said that non-legislative symbolic connections of church and state (like a governor saying a prayer at meeting or something like that) violate the clause you cite? I wonder if it is more that such an action would prevent the free exercise of religion. But I haven't read up on the opinions. |
