Question:

If it is illegal to buy alcoholic beverages in Georgia on a 
Sunday, is public money supporting a state enforcement of a 
religious belief?

Shall our money go to pay police to prevent grocery stores 
from selling pork, as pork is a split-hoofed animal, and 
some believe eating it is immoral?

Shall our money go to pay police to prevent Burger King from 
immorally selling hamburgers, as they are killing cows, a 
sacred animal to some?

In all fairness, I think so.

If you don't want to be christian in Georgia, you will go to 
jail.
