Too may people still do not understand the Constitution. Those religions will still have the freedom of speech - but nothing in the Constitution says that they have to be provided with a pulpit.

Do any of you Christian types want to pay extra taxes to fund a meeting place for Satanists?

Point well noted Steve, but, from what I have seen, policy implementation has been more geared to the destruction of Christianity theology, than a balanced incorporation of differing religious policies.

Is it right that charter schools of Wiccan and Islamic influence receive tax revenue under the guise of tolerance, while funding is pulled from schools with a Chrisitian basis?

If I were to accept your "constitutional stance" Wouldn't this then need to extend to all branches of government? (National Cathedral, Police Chaplin, all forms of military, the prison system, current forms of all government (federal down to state down to local), etc. this list could get very very long) The implications are fearsome.

Regardless of a religious basis, there are many taxes collected and paid out for institutions which many individuals find unworthy.
