Interesting link: I snipped the following:
<<
When President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the "under God" legislation — intended by Congress to differentiate this country from atheistic communist nations — he said, "Millions of our schoolchildren will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural schoolhouse, the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty."

But that was a clear advancement of religion by the government in public schools — prohibited by the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
<<

Which religion is being advanced? Before you can say that a religion is being advanced, you have to identify the religion; it is a threshold issue.

So again I ask, which religion is being advanced that violates the establishment clause?

I love reading civil libertarian rhetoric; perhaps some of the most illogical stuff on the planet. The concept has merit, but the reasoning is flawed...
