There is no mention of separation of Church and State in the Constitution. As a matter of fact the first amendment to the constitution guarantees that the Federal government shall not establish a state religion,nor shall it prohibit the free exercise of religion. We have a democratic republic form of government, which means the people elect their representatives to make laws that they want to represent their values. If the majority want laws that express Judaic/ Christian principles they can have it or if they want laws to express Shiriah beliefs or Laws of Manu, they can elect people to do so. But the government can not make you be a Christian, Jew, Muslim or anything else and it can not take tax money away from you to establish an official state religion. The people at Patrick Henry are doing what they believe in, just as the people of MUM did what they believed in when they started the Natural Law Party.
