This is what we've become? He who has the biggest public emotional reaction wins??
Not to mention the witch hunt that is now in hot pursuit.
Jimmy Kimmel... Jackass.

The First Amendment was written specifically to say Congress shall make no law. Writings by the Founding Fathers confirm this was done to prevent a federal church, not at the state level. In fact, they assumed states would likely continue to have state religions and that would be left to the states (see the 10th Amendment).
...but this zealot is a poor example of supporting anyone's rights but his own.
2. I fail to understand the meaning of your question ".....man not man?!?". Are we switching to Platonic Forms now?.
3. I would be interested to read your development on how having the capacity to reason leads to a state of "dominance". Maybe a bit of Spencerian social Darwinism raising its ugly head here? My understanding of AR's position is that a man's rational faculty, his mind, is his primary survival tool and learning how to use his mind and then the environment to best facilitate this - survival & successful living qua reasoning being being the goal. I fail to see how this necessarily implies "dominance". Rational & perhaps careful use thereof, yes, but dominance?
5. yes animals do count in this discussion. The point of my argument is not to raise animals to human intellectual level, but to question the use of Objectivism as allowing for or worse advocating trophy killing - see my point 4 above.
In the 1600's The United States did NOT exist, they were still offshoots of the European Crown and were colonies of the King, and the King dictated the church and also caved to the will of the Church.
The United as founded in the late 1700's, and the United States did not become a country until then.
You seem to like to combine and modify history to suit your weird ideas. The Constitution which was the founding and primary contract for the United States when they CEASED being colonies under the rules of the King, CEASED control of Religion and morality. Please refer to the 1st Amendment AND the specific 10 Government enumerated powers. NONE of which has anything to do with morality.
Next please refer tot he letter Jefferson sent to the Church of Danbury. WAKE up and stop trying to obfuscate and combine topics in a poor attempt to confuse.

PS. Divine is spelled with two Is,
Not believing a=a doesn't change reality.
The Devine irony is that those with your perspective chastise the very fundamentals that provide the freedom that we all cherish. As long as there are more that think as I do (which there are), those that think like you can continue to be wrong without consequences. The reverse is not true, though. Like Jews/Muslims laying down arms... one equals peace and one equals extermination.
It's an undeniable fact that America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. At the founding, more than half of the colonies had state funded churches. You might as well be challenging an essertion that there were 13 colonies or that Washington was the first president.
Your lack of knowledge on the subject is not for me to remedy.
