Religion, like sex and money, is one of those topics that Americans often shy away from. Quite sadly, this has led us into the morass that is our theocracy masquerading as a republic. After all with “under God” on the money, how can we claim any sort of separation of Church and State? Doesn’t violate the First Amendment, you say? Nonsense, I say right back!
While the First Amendment does say, among other things, that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” the use of the term God, in effect, establishes a bias not only for theistic religions but also for monotheistic religions. All of this, however, is irrelevant now that I have become a Pastafarian.
