text: You are NOT forgiven your arrogant assertions as to the Founding (you are misleading) nor your ad hominem ("our freedom to reject your personal hangups") The "conditions" of our Founding are that citizens are guaranteed their natural rights, codified in the first 10 amendments, especially the free exercise of religion and the REJECTION of any government control or LAW respecting the establishment of religion. All but 4 of the Constitutional Convention members declared faith in a Christian denomination, 2 declared as deists. 
  The oath of office of all levels of legislature declares fealty to the Constitution, which is the practical application of the Bill of Rights. 
  You have erected a straw dog argument (not even on the level of the straw man fallacy) The 1st amendment supports and codifies the rights of individuals to free exercise of religion, speech and association. No subsequent law, regulation, interpretation can change that.
