Reply #56: technically yes, we just don't always enforce the rules.

we are a Secular Constitutional Democratic Republic. just keep repeating that until you remember it -- it's a very important thing to know.

we can have any law on the book, it doesn't mean anything until it is enforced. often america didn't bother to enforce the secular aspect of our governance protecting both church and state. a shame really, because it raises generations of people ignorant of our rules and ideals. and our manner of secular separation is probably the most tolerant of those written on the law books. before we lost our nation to madness we were a very free society, or at least tried to move in that direction.
