You realize that we're fortunate that the Founding Fathers wrote
article I of the Bill of Rights, which is intended to guarantee our
freedom from religion.

I know it's hard, but study your history. The Founding Fathers did
nothing of the kind, at least on purpose.

I think "no law establishing a religion" is pretty clear.

To be fair, "freedom of worship" and "separation of church and state" are
not the same thing as "freedom from religion" - technically, to have that,
you'd have to abolish religion, and that simply doesn't work.

I'd be happy with "separation of church and state".
