Before the ink was dry on the US Constitution, States were already busy writing up what many would consider to be extremely theocratic State Constitutions.

Your claim that the US Constitution was designed to sepperate church andstate is flawed because many who helped write the Constitution also wtrote their own State Constitutions.
Your calling me a liar? You are actually telling me that I am not solely relying on the US Const.? Bye.
