Not to say I don't worship God or go to church - I do. I just see the danger in trying to abolish the Freedom of Religion.
I wish more Christians would realize that separation of church and state is beneficial to both. One of the ultimate truths of this country's history is that if you ask the government to do something for you, there will be a price. I know there are some who want Christianity to be an official religion, but the question will inevitably come up: "which Christianity?" It will inevitably lead to what was happening in medieval Europe, with different Christian factions fighting each other for dominance, which is precisely what the founding fathers were trying to get away from.
