I think they did mean to protect churches from the government and make sure that "congress" couldn't pass any laws as the constitution states.

I'd be willing to bet that founders didn't intend to remove God or prayer from schools or sue city governments from putting a nativity scene in front of the local city hall at Christmas.

In San Diego where I'm from, I grew up watching this total stupidity over the years.

Nothing more than continued left wing, liberal, atheist attempts to remove God from our country. Starting in 1962, this is just another chapter to change and rewrite our history.

Shame on them.
