Nonsense.I've read the Constitution several times and studied it in law school and the phrase "separation of Church and State" is not actually in there.I don't see what's so free about when only a single religion gets to call the shots at the exclusion of all others.
I love how you Constitution scholars are so adept at Separation of Church and State.
The Constitution exists solely in the context of its case law, as determined by the Supreme Court, authorized by the doctrine of judicial review and Articles III and VI of the Constitution.
“But that’s not in the Constitution" is a failed and ignorant ‘argument.’
Consequently, separation of church and state is in fact in the Constitution, and can be found here in the Founding Document:
“[T]he First Amendment's language, properly interpreted, had erected a wall of separation between Church and State.”
