Hmm, I always thought that separation of church and state was a good way to ensure freedom of religion. We don't have a government chosen and sponsored religion. Why do you want to bring a religious activity to a government building? Doesn't your church offer after school religious activities? Mine does. If your church is too cheap or you are not active enough in it to arrange such an activity at your church, perhaps you should pick a different church? Use your church to support your choice of religion. I don't use my church to teach my kids math, science or reading. You certainly still have freedom of religion and freedom of speech when you practice your religion outside of government buildings. I don't see bible studies going on at work, but some employers that I have worked for have had bowling, soccer and softball leagues. Is my employer interfering with my freedom of religion or my freedom of speech? I don't see it that way.

Just curious why does the mention of Obama make you mad?
You didn't answer my question directly, but I infer from your employer analogy that a its alright to refuse a bible club, by the way does your employer deny you the right to have a bible club, on your own time? Just using your analogy. So a group of kids want to get together before or after school and pray, no doctrine taught, no church name,but you don't think they can do this, right? The gay-lesbians, the environmental group, the young democrats, republicans, and socialist can, but the religious kids can't. Please tell me If this is not your position.
You keep going all over about what is the real issue, a church too cheap, yea that a real valid point
Keep focused.
Could you define what you think, separation of church and state is? And what law or historical writing do you base your opinion on. I don't know where I said I was for it or against it, I was asking you questions and you seem to assume a lot.
