The separation of church and state guarantees that both are equally protected. Including my own preference of ignoring both types of silliness. It has worked admirably for over 200 years. The radical right is entirely too comfortable on the slippery slope.
Luckily, it's still a free country. Including the freedom of deluding one's self into believing what doesn't exist (as long as it doesn't interfere with anyone else's rights).
You think that just waving a flag and thumping a bible makes you a good American? It's a simplistic, short-sighted view.
