You’re not wrong. It was Moses.
The politician who put this legislation into law was quoted as saying, “if you want to respect the rule of law, you’ve got to start from the original lawgiver, which was Moses” who got the commandments from God.
For a country that has long “provided” an enshrined concept in the very first freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”, it’s all a bit confusing. Or maybe its politicians are all a bit confused. Either way, their forefathers must be screaming from their graves wondering where this all has gone tits up. |

Are you of American origin? You seem to be well versed in the US constitution. |

Hail Satan. The seven tenets of The Satanic Temple:
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word. |

"All hail the great Sky Wizard!!
True.
It's just daftness that in this day and age religion even exists nevermind being taught in schools. It's about time humans opened up to humanity."
We've been eroding religion and religious institutions in this country for 50 years. Not sure where it's taking us is a good place. |

Have we been eroding religion or are we better able to scrutinize what is advocated by religion?
In a free society such ideologies should be able to stand up to scrutiny. We humans have been constantly changing religion and notions of god since time began, why should we stop because an American politician who probably still thinks jesus was a white guy. |
