“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.” - Amendment 1, U.S. Constitution. The question of religion and politics is not the same as the question of church and state. Many people take this amendment to mean that the government must not be involved in religion what so ever. This amendment really means that the government can not have state-sponsored religion and outlaw all other religions.
