You cannot have freedom of religion without freedom from religion. It's very simple. If the government can take a vote tomorrow and decide that the state religion is Islam and we are now going to follow Sharia Law, then you don't have freedom of religion. That was exactly the intent of the founders. They didn't want government in their church and they didn't want your church in their government.
“Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion…”
The is what gives you freedom from religion. Your government is prohibited from telling you what to believe. The exact phrase Freedom Of Religion is not there either.
I never said that religion should be barred from everyday life. You are just repeating stuff you read in a chain letter with the bit about removing crosses from a veterans cemetery. Nobody is asking for that lol. The second part of the establishment clause is about people. The first part is about the government. Barring the government from establishing a religion is exactly what makes freedom of and from religion. Would you accept a state sponsored religion that was different from the one you practiced? What if the majority in this country moves from Christianity to something else? Will you just throw your hands up and say "Oh Well, Freedom of Religion NOT Freedom From Religion"? That is entirely the point. The government does not get to pick your religion. This has nothing to do with what you pick for yourself.
WTF are you talking about?
Do you pay ANY attention at all?
There is a continuous assault to have any and every symbol of religion,except for Luciferian, to be removed from any and all government lands and buildings.
Thanks for showing the people your true colors, because with statements like that you echo, verbatim, the exact lies the Left tell every day.
You can imply "inheritance" all you want, it doesn't make it part of any of our documents.

.........or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,
You selectively chose to only c&p the part you like.
This was only included to stop a state ran religion like what was present in England.
It in no way applies that religion should be barred from our everyday lives, or that having a cross in a veterans cemetery is somehow illegal.
