:) ok, done. i'm trying so hard to stay out of this.
hahahahaha, a political science major fucking up some Very veRY basic ideas about religion in teh constitution?

1st of all, everything at the time of drafting the constitution was about christianity and about various sects of christianity. no one had ideas about muslims in america or some fuckers creating their own religion.
they just wanted to make sure some guy wasn't persecuted for practicing a religion, so they tried to separate it completely from government and unlike european countries decided not to tax churches.
