I completely agree that the separation between church and state must remain strong, and that our laws must embody respect for all people. Emanuel, thank you for sharing your reaction here.

By nontheistic I mean that a "God" concept, other than as an item of curiosity, plays no part in my daily life and is of no concern for me either in a dying process or any after death concept. He She or It was never apparent when the result of "magical thinking" might have eased my pain. I certainly don't wish to waste time, energy or money on a "God Concept" this late in my life. I have perceived that many people profess to be capable of achieving solice from a "God" belief and religious ritual that they may associate with it. My best wishes to them. Please however don't change our laws, particularly our Constitution, to force your "God"/ religious ideations on others. I consider myself to be a nontheistic Secular Humanist.
