You'd be amazed at the number of people outside the United States who think that not every really good idea about how to run a fair and just society can necessarily be found in the US Constitution...

Admittedly. I'm sure most people here would agree that government should be entirely secular (though I do not). I was just trying to point out that if they are interpreting the Constitution as saying that, they are making it say what they passionately believe it should say rather than what the original intent was. Its fine to believe that the government should be secular, just don't try to back it up with the Constitution. Of course the precedent has now been set in case law, so the point is moot anyway.
