It seems that free-thinker movements are on the rise on college campuses. I know that they've been around for a long time, but popularity seems to be growing over the past couple of years, at least.

"separation of church and state"

I find that phrase interesting, considering that it is not in the US Constitution.

Thank goodness for America. We can believe whatever we want to believe.

What a wonderfully pointless reply. We're not asking you to believe anything, only that you critically assess your beliefs.

@Rick:

No where do we say "separation of church and state" is in the US constitution.

Does the "Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Signed at Tripoli" November 4, 1796, mean anything to you?

"As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

Thank God for the separation of Church and State, otherwise we'd all be living in a Waco-society.

Nowhere in there is seperation of church and state mentioned either... Try a little history lesson, in fact, tell you what. E-mail Dr. Barber, he is well-versed in this matter.
