I am definitely for the separation and I am very glad that the courts have interpreted it so.

Besides that, I put the christian fundamentalist on the same level as the muslim fundamentalist, they are both nuts. Mostly the christian fundamentalist are the ones pushing for the integration, the mere thought of it makes me shiver.
William,
You're right about the religious state. That's why the founding fathers fled England. I think. But the framers of the Constitution still created it on the principles of the 10 Comandments. Thus creating a Christian state. I believe that's correct. But, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'll freely admit I'm wrong if so. Thanks, Buzz
