Christians do not seem to realize that their superstitious beliefs were imported from the middle-east, and if they aren't happy with the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment they could very easily chant, pray or roll around on the ground by moving to the land where their superstitious beliefs were spawned.
America was not founded on any religious principles, and any American that attempts to alter our Bill of Rights is simply un-American.
The recent decision by the Supreme Court on school prayer/chanting shows that mob-rule belongs elsewhere, not in America.
