51. As a religious person, I want separation of church and state, too
When people start talking about the U.S. as a "Christian nation" or want to write laws according to "Biblical principles," I ask them how they would like it if they moved to an area that was majority Catholic (the "Christian nation" types are usually fundamentalist Protestants) and were required to attend Mass every Sunday or to one of the areas near Detroit that is majority Muslim and were required to follow Shariah.
