Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
The government cannot force you to practice a specific religion like they did in England, nor can the Government establish a religion itself. The Constitution guarantees that people in this country have a freedom to practice relgion on their own terms without Government interference. Please note the distinciton between this purpose and the absolute banishment of all religion from our culture and government. "Separation fo Church and State" is a Constitutional invention that is now being used to suprress the very relgiosity that the 1st amendment was intended to protect.
Don't let buzzwords and popular interpretation of the modern day trick you into accepting the death of religious values in our culture. We as a people are free to express our values and relgious beliefs, including celebrating long-standing traditional holidays.
