Debatable. The constitution does not say there will not be religion.
Basically it states there will not be "state religion" ala Church of
England. God is even referenced in the Declaration of Independence.
Religious people also have a right to use public property. It is also
owned by them. This a government of, by, and for the people. Even
atheists can have a display on public property.

Ever hear of separation of church and state?

In the first amendment and in interpretations by the supreme court,
neither of which you've probably read for comprehension.

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.

No Church of the USA and you can practice your religion without
government interference.

Or, would you like to see religious institutions pay taxes, unlike you,
so that they can utilize public property like any other tax paying
individual or entity? Oh, wait you wouldn't know about the paying taxes
part, it is a foreign concept to you.

Do you really think it would be a good thing to have The Church run our
country without checks and balances? That's stupid.

Where did I say that? The constitution states that the government will be
hands off religion. Not that there will be no religion.

You never did say that. But because he is an atheist with no moral core,
he will keep saying it. Doesn't matter to him what is right and wrong,
as long as he gets his govt check...

Supreme courts interpretations seem to morf over the years. Constitution
and the framers said there would not be a state religion. And that the
government should just stay out of the religious business. Not that the
people could not use public (the peoples) facilities for religious purposes.
There would be no state ordained religion.
