Make no mistake…I am with you on opposing the US equivalent of Sharia law. I am a big advocate of the separation of church and state.

But that wall is faltering. There is a [thread current in Great Debates now](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-our-constitutional-right-to-be-jerks-to-teh-gays-fulton-v-city-of-philadelphia/924786) which shows the US Supreme Court came within a whisker of tearing down a big protection in separation of church and state (and they still damaged it). Some justices were all for going there and one was really pissed it didn’t happen.

So yeah…the US is in danger here and politicians and judges are going there and working diligently to undermine these protections. And they are succeeding more than not.
