I'm right with you Jaine. Although I was just Baptized Lutheran in March (or April?), I still don't believe that the people of the United States need to be forced to state that there is a God. Some believe in none, other believe in multiples. Free thinking is what made this country great from the start.
As for Texas, among other states, denying Atheists public office that IS unconstitutional. But then again, look was Texas gave us, our current President.*
*But then again Texas has Jane Young and Pavan... so maybe it's even. Whereas Tennessee gave the world me... so, therefore, it is the greatest state in the Union.
