Troll,

There are no stormtroopers, but the criteria that has been used in the past is that the separation is violated when a public institution creates a climate that expects a religion (i.e., a period or day of prayer). For those who do not profess a religion or are devoutly athiest, this creates an inimical atmosphere towards them.

That is how classroom postings of the 10 commandments, mandated school prayer, etc. have been found to be in violation of this separation. And that is how I feel GWB could possibly be seen in violation of this as well.

Note that this is not my personal view - I wouldn't give a rat's ass if he decided to announce a day of devout religious two-stepping and ritual bigass belt buckle sacrifice. However, within the "Great Big Book of Things That Have Already Happened", he may be in violation of precedence.
