Re: Constitutions change! And religion...

Hasn't the constitution changed here and there, since its inception?
After all, if it's 220 some years old, times have changed quite a lot, since.

I know ours (in Belgium) has changed: for instance, the power of the king, the possibility to have a queen rather than a king, the women vote, the suppression of the capital punishment, the recognition of regions....and many other things, have changed since our Constitution began.

And what about true separation of church and state? It looks like it's more the case in Europe than in the US. Years ago, when a witness appeared in court , he had to swear to God to say the truth, nothing but the truth....Well, "to God" is gone, here.
Frank's post about adding "under god" to the pledge to face the communism atheism is very interesting!
Well, communism as a global threat is gone; instead we have religious extremism.
Times change.
