Quite right, and therefore there should be no interference in any religion unless they are breaking the civil or criminal law. Said laws would
be unconstitutional if they were based on infringement of the rights to freedom of worship/religion. For example, it was illegal for Bibles to be
brought into a veterans' hospital. How can that be? That is unconstitutional. There is a lot of confusion on this subject. Now, if someone said
that it was unconstitutional for the US to provide the Bibles, there may be a case there. However, to prevent freedom of individuals to bring their
own Bibles is a violation of the US Constitution.
From Wikipedia:
In the United States, the term is an offshoot of the phrase, "wall of separation between church and state," as written in Thomas Jefferson's letter
to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. The original text reads: "... I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American
people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,'
thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."
The wall of separation of church and state is *not* what you think it is!, page 2
