Tax exempt
[qs]Let me ask you this. Why should tax dollars pay for roads that church buses can drive on? Is that public funding of religion?

quotes please
It is very pro-religion, not anti-religion, as some think.
​
How is it pro- religion?
​
I have a copy on a table next to me and often refer to it. Seems like more a model of how to set up a govenment than a religious document but show me the quotes and I'll be happy to change my mind.

Re: quotes please
It bans any laws that prohibit the free exercise of religion. That's about as pro-religion as you can get.
​
Can you cite any laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion?
​
It also prohibits any "law respecting an establishment of religion".
