"Many people are surprised to learn that the United States Capitol regularly served as a church building; a practice that began even before Congress officially moved into the building and lasted until well after the Civil War."

"From Jefferson through Abraham Lincoln, many presidents attended church at the Capitol; and it was common practice for Members of Congress to attend those services. For example, in his diary entry of January 9, 1803, Congressman Cutler noted: "Attended in the morning at the Capitol. . . . Very full assembly. Many of the Members present." The church was often full "so crowded, in fact, one attendee reported that since "the floor of the House offered insufficient space, the platform behind the Speaker's chair, and every spot where a chair could be wedged in was filled."

Actually the glory days ended in 1963 with the Bible and prayer was removed from the public schools. Do some research on grades, violence in schools and general education downward trends. You'll see it starts to decline right around 1963.

Seperation of church and state is a myth and it doesn't exist. Its found NO WHERE in the Constitution nor any wrightings from the founding fathers. In fact, the US government used to print Bibles for public schools.

Seperation is nothing more than a made up liberal concept put into place by liberal judges and regurgitated over the years by liberals and atheists.
