It simply means government cannot adopt one particular religion like Baptist or Islam and force everyone to follow it! Please stand up for religious freedom, as one who has taken an oath to uphold the Constitution, which no where says separate religion from public life. In fact, it upholds the opposite! Read the Founders, read read read!!!
Thank you!

For your information, The US Constitution, American law & US Armed Forces regulations prohibit our secular military, as part of our secular government, from promoting or endorsing a religion except in military chapels or military chapel channels. Military chaplains may not proselytize their version of religion as the official military religion on official military channels. That is why the unlawful practice was stopped by the military itself after military members, including Christians, complained.
