Separation of Church and State 2

Government needs to butt out when it comes to how I choose to practice my religion. I will pray when I need to, read my Bible where I want to, and be a witness through my daily life every single hour I'm up and running.

Update: The US Constitution's Establishment Clause only states that the government will not advocate one religion over another (e.g. "official religion" policies or similar), or restrict the free practice of religion by individual citizens. What the "separation of church and state" doctrine tries to do is restrict where people can practice their religious beliefs in violation of the Establishment Clause.

That's a misrepresentation of the issue. You are completely wrong by saying that "separation of church and state" is all about restricting practice of religion. The separation of church and state is designed to separate the church institution from the government institution. It is unconstitutional for the government to advocate ANY religion, because the government does not have the freedom of religion. Private citizens do. The separation of church and state is part of the reason why you have the right to pray when you need to, read your Bible where you want to, and witness in the first place.
