you may not have been strongly exposed to our constitutional concept of the separation of church and state. Perhaps you have. Nevertheless, it becomes a very dangerous threat to that constitutional amendment when the government decides to dabble in the subsidy of a religious institution (no matter what the cause or reason).

Who is to say which religion should share in the government's funding? The politicians in power, that's who. You can be sure they will NOT fund just ANY religion that asks for money. Well, so much for freedom of religion at that point. I do hope you see the real inherent danger in this.
