Can you not read?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
Okay let me spell it out for you, although I suspect you are just pretending to be stupid...
How can you have a mixing of church and state that doesn't infringe on the free exercise of one or more of the many religions in America?
For example let's say we want to put the ten commandments up in a court room. Okay. But which ten commandments? The Catholic ones? the Jewish ones? The protestant ones? Which version of the third commandment do we use? How can you post the ten commandments and not infringe on someone's
free exercise of a religion that doesn't believe the ten commandments are the word of god? How can you post a version of the ten commandments and not effectively
establish that religion as the prevalent one?
Almost every Supreme Court of the last 225 years has interpretted the First Amendment as a seperation between church and state. If you feel otherwise then you really are way out there on the fringe.
So don't tell me that the concept of seperation of church and state is not in the US Constitution - it's right there - the Supreme Court says it is. Even if you wish to interpret the First Amendment differently, then you are still wrong, because the First Amendment means whatever the Supreme Court historically says it means.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
