The whole debate indicates the difference between people on the left and people on the right. The people on the left use the first amendment to inhibit religion in anyway while people on the right are painted as zealots trying to impose a theocracy.
Do these people even know how theocracies are created?
A theocracy has two parts. The first part is the actual creation of the state religion in which the people are compelled to attend. The state essentially creates an organization for the purpose of getting its citizens to participate in. The second part is the willful denial of a person's right to participate in any other religious organization. These would include laws prohibiting the free-exercise of those religions.
The first amendment was designed to stop this on the federal level by preventing the federal government from establishing any religion that they want and the second way was to stop the federal government from passing laws stopping the federal government from inhibiting someone's religion.
Its pretty f'n simple when you get down to it but what people don't realize is that the nature of statism is religious. It assumes, almost like divine right of kings, that the state is God's authority on Earth. It can't be denied by the people who live under it. Religion is the only tool that can stop this way of thinking because religion tells people that the ultimate authority on earth rest in their deity and not in the state.
Religion is vital in our war against statism.
