The first amendment is/was interpreted out of context by attorneys as now the attack on the second amendment will eventually be interpreted out of context. The first amendment was based totally on preventing a quasi-governmental authority like Rome or the Church of England from restricting the rights of people (what the protestant movement worked so hard to change) and one of the main themes of colonization in the first place. The first amendment was never intended to strip God from government and society as it is being used to do now. It was intended to protect the people's right to worship from government interference. It is definitely not meant to protect you from getting your feelings hurt by this nation's history, monuments, prayers, and gatherings of common believers. Those with a thing against religion are trying to strip God out of society even though it has no influence on what they can or can't do. I mean who does it hurt if a school rents space to a church so believers of the same faith have a place to meet. It hurts absolutely nobody; and from my point of view, this type of hostile attack on religion is exactly what the amendment is suppose to address.
