I don't believe Congress has ever passed a law calling for separation of Church and State. It was an idea that Thomas Jefferson (I think) wrote in a letter. Even then I believe the idea was to keep the State from running the Churches, not keeping the Churches from running the state.

But, you are correct. This is not the forum for this.

Anyone want to talk politics?
