They simply said that the government cannot create a law to establish a national religion for all its citizens requiring that they abide by it. They must be free to worship as they see fit or to not worship at all, if that is their choice.

Many times this "separation of church and state" is stated but seems to always be directed toward the wrong ones (individuals, schools, etc.), yet why are schools and churches used as polling places? Double standard?? Just askin...
