Liberals' continued twisting of the intent of the first amendment would be sad, if they weren't so successful in spreading misinformation.
The key word is "establishment". The founders (Madison) sought to provide a mechanism to prevent what had happened in England. (The Church of England had gained so much power that it had ESTABLISHED itself as basically the court system in England. As such, it controlled law and could change it on the whims of the church's political interests.) The intent was to protect the legislative branch's ability to protect Constitutional law from unforeseen changes or attempts from religious movements to change it.
That does not change the fact that the Constitution and American law is based on Judao-Christian values. Nor does it ostracize Christianity, or religion in general, from government altogether. It simply doesn't.
What liberals hate is that the Consitution is also written to protect LIBERALS from changing it as well. LOL. Liberals hate the Constitution because it is a capitalistic manifesto that flies in the face of their big government ideals.
