18. Funny, I remember reading that of the faith based programs
that have so far gotten government funds, 100% have been christian, and over 75% have been protestant.

Wish I had the link.

But I'll challenge you -- what non-christian program has gotten my tax money? If you can show that non-protestant christian programs are getting proportional funding, you may have an argument.

When the government subsidizes a church program, it frees up that church's funding for other purposes; therefore, it is acting to support that church in defiance of the first amendment.

There is no way that this is right.
