You can pray outside in public, you just cant do it on Government land (even then most places wont stop you) or with government backing....
Wanna bet? Even more important, wanna try to stop me?
As far as Thomas Jefferson
*Wrote the Declaration of Independence
*Jefferson was in France during drafting, but did write many letters and had a great influence on the Constitution and those writing it,
Not to mention other things he had an influence on- the founding of the Federal Government, Secretary of State, a vice President, and the 3rd President of the US, I'd say his words have a great effect on the constitution on the founding of America in general, and to disregard his influence is myopic at best
You need to go back and read what I wrote: Jefferson and his ideas may have had an influence on the Constitution, but he was not there for the drafting of it.
The Supreme Court, has gone on to say that there should be a Separation of Church and state is in the Spirit of the Establishment clause (paraphrasing)
The Supreme court also once ruled that no one of African ancestry could claim US citizenship (Dred Scott v. Sandford) and that segregated public accomodations were Constitutional. (Plessy v. Ferguson)

If you read the founding doccuments and the other writings of our founding fathers, it is God this and God that everywhere. They obviously expected that people in public life would express their religious beliefs.

Public expression on one's religious beliefs is not the same as forcing them upon others. What these anti-Christian "athiest" crybabies are doing is forcing their religious beliefs on others. They are no better than fundamentalist zealots. In fact, they are fundamentalist zealots.

untill you can admit that Atheism is not a Religion, I don't think we can have a serious conversation about this.

According to the Buddha Shakyamuni, Buddhism isn't a religion. Try putting a big Buddha statue in the rotunda and see if it's a religion or not, in America.

The amendment says, by the way, "Congress shall pass no law...". It wasn't written to prohibit local or state officials from doing anything.
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... (Jefferson quoting Beccaria)

... tyrants accomplish their purposes ...by disarming the people, and making it an offense to keep arms. - Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840

The absence of religion makes it a religion?

Yes. To not believe in something takes an equal or greater amount of belief than to actually believe in something.

For example. I don't believe there is an invisible, all powerful polar* bear in my study. That is therefore a religion called antiursinism.

*This religion has various sects. Some of us don't believe it's a black bear, some don't believe it's a grizzly bear. We argue about it a lot.

Like I said (sarcastically), you dont believe in Santa and I dont believe in Santa, therefore we MUST be a Religion because we have a lack of Faith in Santa. :headscratch

Atheism is NOT a Religion, its not a Faith, its just people who don't have religion play into their life.Now if you were saying be Agnostic was a religion, I could ALMOST agree with you, but many agnostics are religious.
Just like some people have NO sex drive and live an asexual life, it doesn't make them gay or straight , but its very different from celibacy which is choosing to re frame from sex.
The Aclu (which has been labeled Anti-Christian by the ignorant) has sued for Christians plenty of times, off the top of my head
They sued to keep a bible verse in a High school yearbook that someone has submitted as their quote
They defended the right of Prisoners to receive religious materiel
Defended people in Delaware who were using a elementary school for bible school meetings on Sundays
My point, its not just Busy Body Atheists or Anti-Christians suing to "Stir up trouble" or any of that nonsense, its about defending their right not to have Religion in government.
Its like when WE defend our second Amendment right to own AR15s, its NOT because we are a bunch of crazy's wanting to overthrow the government or shoot up schools.

I agree with Crossfire. This post has also gone into violation by discussing religion, and that is a no-no for this forum.
(Rule 11: Off-topic posts/threads: Since they tend to cause the most problems for other boards, our "off-topic" sub-forum is not an "anything goes" area. Absolutely no discussions of religion, immigration/border security, abortion, race matters, or any other hot-button political issues. (Gun-related political issues can be discussed in other areas.))

Back on topic immediately or thread will be locked.
