It would have been even EASIER to misinterpret if they'd used 'creation'. But still, even in that form, 'creation' as a noun still applies to a church, a school, a business or anything else created by a particular religion.

If I "made your point", you must now agree with me that the Constitution of the United States does not, in fact, call for a separation of church and state but merely an edict that there would be no official state religion. This is why prayers are still said in Congress. Thank You.
Also you can see a new thread by Taltarzac that also makes my point by pointing out how people have misread the point of the letter to the Baptist Association of Danbury Ct. penned by Jefferson for many years, and exposes the "mythical separation of church and state"
