I was making a specific point about the separation of church and state. Given what some have said about the separation of church and state, they were appropriate. Moreover one of the strongest arguments used by the right wing right now is original intent, the intent of those who drafted the declaration of independence and the constitution should be looked at. In this case, the framers were quite strongly against religious involvement in government. Given that the shrub administration has made it a point about the original intent as being critical to their idea of a SCOTUS justice, its apparent that religious involvement isn't one of them.
