And furthermore, concerning THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE of the Constitution -- it's purpose was that the nation as a whole would NOT DO what some of the colonies did do -- establish an official church for the usa, like some colonies did for their colony.
It wasn't that they were deists or atheists - it was that the usa as a whole would NOT have an official church, would not establish one.
I read a whole book on Establishment Clause related cases. Almost all of them were squabbles about parents whose kids went to a private school (church- related usually) fighting to not pay taxes to the regular schools. Most parents who do send their kids to a church school just have to eat it, and pay taxes that support the regular schools.
Baylor's mens basketball team is getting slaughtered by Kansas right now, just blowing us out, 23-7.
Shit.
