anything it’s a protection for everyone and mainly the separation of state and church, you are allowed to do your religion but not in the government buildings
You do realize that banning a religion is the state inserting itself into religion, right?
The separation of church and state goes both ways. The church is not to influence the state and the state is not to influence the church. You are allowed to practice religious expression in a state building, but the state cannot demand that you do so, or regulate which religion you express.
You do know when the constitution mentions the church, they aren’t being literal… The “church” is the institution of religious beliefs, which is made up of people. You are policing people’s rights to freely express their beliefs.
Are you harmed by someone wearing a cross when they work?
That sounds like more of a personal problem than an actual depiction of a problem in reality.
I’m an atheist/agnostic, someone believing in some fake metaphysical being doesn’t affect me at all. What does affect me is when those people try to force their beliefs on me, and you seem to be hellbent on paving the way for them to do so.

religion isn’t banned, overt expression of it is, those are two different things.
That’s pedantic, it’s still the government involving itself in policing religious expression.
You can’t use the excuse of separating church in state if you are utilizing the state to police the church.
except the church is literally not policed, how does it affect the church if your governnent employees can’t wear crosses to work?
get a fucking grip.

you are right I am personally paving the way, because what I say on this platform dictates policy, lmao
Lol, if you are now claiming your opinion holds no value or influence…why make a rebuttal in the first place?
