You do realize that’s a court ruling from much later? The founding fathers never intended a complete separation. Several of the states had state religions until well after the nation was formed.
The ruling about the three prongs well over 100 years later.
I am an atheist, but at least I know the history of our country. Obviously, you didn’t know several states had state religions until the 1800s. Nobody thought it was a conflict.
Your position seems to be you don’t know the history of the country or case law.
You probably didn’t realize the lemon law wasn’t until the 1970’s. Until then it wasn’t even thought of odd that the two mingled. Nor did you realize that in 2022, Kennedy vs Bremeton, Lemon was abandoned.
You just look silly not know the history or caselaw.
No, it really wasn’t. That is a basic history lesson you must have missed. Religion has always been tied heavily to our government.
If it was unconstitutional, as you claim, then you think the founding fathers would have stopped it right away. They didn’t.
The founding fathers were deeply religious men and knew the two would mingle, but they didn’t want a government church like the Episcopalians in England or the Lutherans in Sweden.
Many were only nominally Christian, as Diest was the day’s rage. The phrase separation of church and state is not in the Constitution.
Here is a nice breakdown of the pro/cons of the arguments. It sounds like you have never read the Constitution since you think the phrase is in there.

Rule 3 Violation.
Do yourself a favor and make an argument…as tedious as it may be.

Deists are not Christians just as Christians are not Deists. The terms are incompatible.
Actually they are not incompatible. George Washington attended church and was a deist.

I have. I also cited you an explanation of the legal aspects of it. I suggest you read them to become more educated on the topic.
