I believe in the right of The People to freely express religion and peaceably share our opinions. The 1st Amendment of our Bill of Rights protects Freedom of Religion (not Freedom from Religion) and solely prevents establishment of a State Religion (including the adoption of Atheism as a State Religion). Each State Constitution acknowledges the providence of God and the essence of our Nation is One Under God (being protected from Man). Nearly 40 years ago there was a law suit that originated from Austin, Texas, which rejected God and ultimately resulted in the shift to declare the schools in the USA to be under the Religion of Atheism. Our Supreme Court at the time denied the fact that our Declaration of Independence recognized Our Creator (God, not Government) gave us the Rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Of course our founding fathers had written that the separation of Religion and State was intended to avoid any single group (such as the Anglican Church) from becoming the official National Religion, but they never envisioned the denial of God.
