"Is being out of your mind a job requirement for Republican politicians?
"North Carolina wanted to violate the U.S. Constitution and establish a state religion, Arkansas rejected the Equal Rights Amendment, Virginia wants to ban sodomy (which the Supreme Court permits)... and other GOP-dominated states are just as wacky. "I long for the good old days of Dan Quayle, when we merely had to deal with amusing stupidity, not dangerous lunacy." Have nice day. |

There is nothing in the US Constitution that says the States cannot create a state religion. The First Amendment to the Constitution rules against an establishment of religion. The U.S. Constitution is interpreted by the Supreme Court. In 1947, the Supremes ruled the Establishment Clause inherent in the first amendment applied to the states, ergo, NO state religion. And later the Supremes ruled that individual states could not promote religion. States cannot create a "state religion." |

What part of the US constitution prevents a state from declaring a state religion? The first amendment and several rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court. |

There's nothing that exempts states. See question about your "college" experience in another thread... |
