Nowhere
does the U.S. Constitution establish a separation of
Church and State. Quite the contrary - Congress is
forbidden from passing any laws either establishing a
State religion or prohibiting the free exercise of any
religion.
"Congress shall make no
law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right
of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the government for a redress of
grievances."
