This can be argued to extremes either way.  I agree with you, though.  But
that isn't (by far) the only law integrating state and religion.

I suppose the question involves where morals cross over into religious morals.

What?  The Constitution, you say?  Oh, they burned that in the 1890s, right?

Ok, so you say that the law is *blatantly* religious, and that there is no
other possible reason to not sell alcohol on Sunday, right?  Then explain
to me (in detail) where the magic number "21" came from, and I can't legally
consume certain liquids unless I've been on this rock for 21 spins around
the local fusion pile??

To make matters worse, the upcoming Presidential election gives me the choice
of voting for someone who would, if he could, outlaw free thought; and someone
else who would, if he could, outlaw private income.
