You say its there... What does that have to do with whats ACTUALLY IN THE CONSTITUTION? And the fact that there are different denominations has nothing to do with a blurb that Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter to a Church. The reason the First amendment was written that way was, to ensure that we didnt become another England with forced religion, and no freedom to practice different religions without persecution. Stop throwing out half truths and trying to blur the reality of what is.
