[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2743451, member: 12852"] Quite a lot wrong here. Several states had official state religions/denominations when the Constitution was ratified and that document did not compel them to jettison those affiliations. IIRC the last state with an official religion changed in the 1820s, but not because the 1st amendment prohibited it or because it was un-American. Your Buddhist and Muslim clients have no protection from the 1st amendment from being "bothered' as you put it. As I said earlier, the 1st amendment protects our right to practice our religion freely from the federal government only; it does nothing to protect us from religion or from the states. State constitutions are supposed to do that and the 10th amendment supports that. Nowhere does the Constitution restrict states in any way from establishing a religion. I understand SCOTUS disagrees, but it's no secret SCOTUS has made many egregious errors before. This is among them. [/QUOTE]
