OMG. Let me remind all of you that claim to be so
petrified of Palin's religious beliefs how it really works
constitutionally in the
U.S.
article

The phrase "separation of church and state",
which does not appear in the Constitution itself, is generally traced to an 1802 letter by
Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists, where Jefferson spoke of the combined effect of the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the
First Amendment.
And the 1st Amendment says about religion:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .
So, if we had to worry about anyone forcing a religion on us in the U.S. (or banning a religion), it would be congress and not the president (or the
vice president

). Finally understand that
Palin can't do anything about anyone's religious beliefs except her own.
In other words, constitutional proof that all this mumbo jumbo about Palin's religion and her being "only a heartbeat away from the presidency"
is only a smoke screen for another smear attempt.
Mods, by your own rules, enough is enough.
