Separation of church and state

The constitution says that government should make no law establishing religion.  It is called the "establishment clause". 

The line gets crossed and government does establish a "religion" when only A certain religion and only certain prayers are given at taxpayer funded events, i.e. Veterans Day and other holiday events.

The government establishing a  religion also includes forced religion by the way of forced church amplified sound systems into your home .  This happens  by government by giving "exemptions" for church noise.   When a "religion" is above the law and given special treatment that is government establishing a religion.

  That is against the US Constitution.  Stop forced religion.  Stop forced church noise.   No one is "above the law".    No exemptions.
