GUEST, heric said: Question whether a belief in revealed law by a judge is State sponsored establishment of religion.

Judge Moore's belief in revealed law is NOT "State-sponsored establishment of religion", plainly. He may believe as he likes.

BUT his use of his State-originated powers makes his actions relative to the monument State-sponsored action. Then we have the argument as to whether that action is tantamount to establishment of religion or a religion. I happen to believe that it does.
