Response to Yes?

 

I Just thought it would help to put the actual text up.
Many people have not a clue what the constitution actually says.
It was written in plain English so that an average person would be able to understand it.

I personally do not see any problem with government and religions working together like this.
The text does not prevent Government from interacting or dialoging with religions.
This amendment was placed there by the founding fathers to prevent the federal government from creating a state established or sanctioned religion.

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of grievances
