I can no longer quote the constitution word for word, but I once could. But reading the entire document does let a person know that even the constitution was based very firmly on Christian beliefs. I believe, though, that our founding fathers were wise. They had just escaped from an enforced Christian state, where they were given no options on what they could and could not believe, so the constitution was very carefully written so that no legislator had/has any say in what we believe, don't believe, or do to practice our beliefs, as long as the practice doesn't violate any other portion of the constitution.

Unfortunately, our supreme court have taken it upon themselves to reinterpret the constitution to mean things that it absolutely doesn't say, like the whole garbage about the separation of church and state.

I'm still trying to figure out what screwball decided that the education of our children qualified as "State", too. It didn't used to...except in the communist USSR, but I guess that someone liked their ideals and decided to keep them for our own.
