The US Constitution doesn’t say “separation of church and state.” It just says the US government can’t establish, promote, or inhibit a religion. What’s the point of saying the Pilgrims weren’t religious?

I can hardly wait to see the way they explain the Crusades.

It’s a historical fact that the pilgrims were religious, it is the reason they left England. To deliberately avoid mentioning it in a history class is to lie. One doesn’t even have to belong to or approve a religion to teach that at certain times, certain people had certain religious customs. Those are facts, not religious beliefs. So what does a teacher do when a student looks at a historical picture of a colonial era town and asks “What are those pointy topped buildings for?” Does the teacher say “I don’t know”, or “They won’t let us discuss those.” Next we’ll see Paul Revere’s story re-written to eliminate any reference to faith: He hung the lantern in a… um… an unusually tall building.
