Most people do not know it, but "separation of church and state" refers to the state keeping it's nose out of the church's affairs, not the reverse.
The false understanding of the "separation of church and state" has been extrapolated into all areas of life.
Just yesterday, in the break room at Virgin Mobile, where I work, I was standing next to a young man of about 20. I struck up a conversation with him as we watched a comedian on TV. (We both had gotten bloody noses because of Colorado Springs' elevation and dryness, and I made a comment about that.)
I noticed immediately that the TV had been changed from FOX to TBN, the Trinity Broadcast Network--the Christian station. I saw the crown icon in the lower right of the screen.
The young man made the comment that he was surprised that the TV was switched to the Christian station at the workplace.
Interesting that people falsely apply this false standard of "separation of church and state" to private business enterprises.
Private business enterprises can broadcast Billy Graham all day long, and lock it onto the Christian channel, if they want. They have the freedom to run their businesses the way they want.
People are starting to forget that people have freedom in America.
(Of course, people also have the freedom to protest things in the workplace.)
The thing that we should be concerned about is that people seem to think that the liberal "politically correct" point of view is the default position of American law.
It's not.
So please don't be intimidated by the false rules of Post-Christian America.
