Gerton: Freedom From Religion Foundation should be sued

Posted

So Heather Rooks will no longer cite from the bible due to violation of the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Would that be the clause that says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"?

Sounds like the Freedom From Religion group is the one that should be sued. There is no clause in the Constitution guaranteeing that.

You are free not to worship or read scripture or do anything else with respect to religion. But the way I read that clause, you have no right to prevent others from doing so. If you don't like hearing it, leave.
