AMENDMENT I
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.

Zorak, a sound policy would be this: Whenever you think Vince might be right about something, pause to remind yourself of everything else that Vince has ever posted here, and you'll likely find that Vince is, yet again, wrong.

Congress making any law endorsing or prohibiting, or even pertaining to, the practice of any religion is unconstitutional. This is what is commonly referred to as the Separation of Church and State. The Supreme Court has upheld this time and again over the last two centuries, so I'd say it's a law that's got a leg to stand on.
