grandvizier1006, (after I posted I saw your many edits. Why is that?)
It's been pretty clear in America and for a number of years, and most concertedly beyond anything American Atheists group imagined when they pursued repeal of religious freedom in America long years ago.
Now we have the outright preamble in an activist groups chosen moniker so as to forewarn the religious of their agenda: Freedom From Religion Foundation.
I've monitored this group for a little while now. One obvious flaw in their statement of purpose is in being forthright with the truth. They're not dedicated to repeal of all religious freedom. Rather, they're dedicated to repeal and-or oppression of Christians religious freedoms.
Their tentacles are in our schools, in business, even on the net in communities.
Their agenda is repeal of the first amendment. While their smoke screen is invocation of the language in the 1st and 14th amendments.
There's only one problem with that. Separation of church and state is not in the language of the U.S Constitution.
That so called, wall of separation, was described after the SCOTUS case, Everson v. Board of Educ. of Ewing, 330 U.S. 1, 15-16. And this based on the errant reading of the text of a Thomas Jefferson letter that has no merit in deciding a Constitutional protection.
Whereas the organic laws (The source of law and government, that which exercises regulation and control of government not citizens ) of the United States. Those organics are comprised of the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, The Articles of Confederation, and the 1787 Northwest Ordinance. These make clear that God, Creator, was interwoven into the textual language of those organics. (The Declaration of Independence for instance; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The Declaration of Independence is not law. However Declarationism, as it's known, is language that is incorporated into the body of American case law. Everything we are as a nation began in part with the drafting of the DoI.
So for the anti-religious groups and their committed activists to pursue revocation of religious freedom, their intention is to actually overthrow the organic law of America. And all of American law that insures freedom of religion. Because being we are not a Theocracy people are already free to not be religious. But they are not free to use their lack of religious conviction as a launching point to reform the American landscape of rights so as to rescind religious liberty in America.
The government cannot become a Theocracy. However, the government, local and federal, is also precluded from repealing religious freedom locally and nationally. They're also precluded from suppressing religious expression.
