          The federal government of the United States and, by later extension, the governments of all U.S. states and U.S. territories, are prohibited from establishing or sponsoring religion

              So… like a typical conservative- you’re just going to skip over the part that applies, and argue against the one that doesn’t?

              We’re done here kid. I’m not wasting my time with you anymore, so I’m going to block you now. Based on your comment history- I’m not going to be missing any quality content from you in doing so.

                  HAH!

                  Dude you lost this argument the moment it started:

                  The Establishment Clause is a limitation placed upon the United States Congress preventing it from passing legislation establishing an official religion, and by interpretation making it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes.

                  The Free Exercise Clause prohibits the government from preventing the free exercise of religion.

                  While the Establishment Clause does prohibit Congress from preferring one religion over another, it does not prohibit the government’s involvement with religion to make accommodations for religious observances and practices in order to achieve the purposes of the Free Exercise Clause.

                  Just stop man. You’re embarrassing yourself.
