Separation of Church and State in public schools? No longer in Illinois

Recently Illinois House passed a bill that mandates a moment of silent prayer in public schools. Although they said it was to "reflect", the true meaning of this is time for prayer, which I strongly oppose.

I've recently changed my opinion Separation of Church and State is a complete hypocrisy in the US until we remove "In God We Trust" from our currency (which states 'federal note')

Wow.

Never mind the original intent of the Founders.

Let's just make it up as we go.

I fail to see how you can theoretically fully separate church from state. Ethics and morality have to come from somewhere, some type of believe in good and evil. Take that out of the equation and how will/could you deem something as good and legal vs bad and illegal, etc.

People that believe in the ACLU-approved definition of separation of church and state don't care about morality. Unless it's relativistic, that is.

People should be free to do whatever they want, without worry or remorse.
