Re: removal of monuments from government property

As I recall, the founding fathers of this country left England because of the tyrannical rule of the King. A king which was being heavily influenced by the church.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." means a) the government can't prohibited the the practice of religion. And b) it may not promote any one specific religion. This country was build on a foundation of religious freedom, we are not to be governed by one.

Having a giant 10 commandments monument at the capitol sure feels an awful lot like the government endorsing one specific religion.
