Professor Francisco, a well-published political scientist at KU, said in one of my classes that the best way to create an atheist state is to institute a state religion. That way, no one will want to follow it.
do you agree that is the morality that religon promotes that is the basis for all out most fundemental laws? All of the major religons have the same basic rules....

All the constitution says is the Government will not make a national religion, it says nothing about not using any religous beliefs in Goverment to actually run the government by...By the way,that means any religion, not just christianity. The people in power use their religous beliefs and always will to decide how to govern.. even if they do not say it, subconsiously they use them.
I would rather a President Quote Scripture (from whatever bible he uses)when he explains a decision he has made than one that just says that is what he thinks.
