Grady brought up a point that hadn't occcurred to me.
One thing we've all seen is that organizations that recieve government funding must often follow government restrictions on what they do in order to continue recieving that funding.
So what happens to religious organizations that recieve federal money?
Will it be a matter of compromizing their principles? What religion would do such a thing? So then, only the most favored churches would recieve the money.
So now it may become not merely a matter of religious versus non-religious, but favored religion versus not-favored religion.
I often see these separtion of church and state arguments as having little effect on the ongoing function of our nation (i.e. about principle). This one is very real.
