Because it's an endorsement of a religion not everyone else follows. Unless you're for allowing the Egyptian Book of the Dead as state book, you're infringing on my free exercise. If you choose not to allow you failed free exercise and first amendment and equality. If you choose to, you have to then allow all. Thus you pass free exercise but fail at first amendment
afchief: "How does this not support the "Free exercise clause"?????"
atheist: "So it would be OK if any state made the Koran the official state book?"
afchief: "HOW STUPID CAN ATHEISTS GET?????????? The free exercise clause is about free exercise of *CHRISTIANITY*!!!!!!!!"
Then what was the point of the War of Independence against the forces of King George III: head of the Protestant Church of England?
Do you want a state religion, or don't you? Make your fucking minds up. After all: not exactly seeing the words 'God', 'Jesus', 'Creator' or 'Marriage' appearing anywhere in the US Constitution, o 'New Judge to replace Scalia' afchuff ...?!
Because of couuuuuurse you know more about US law than even the SCOTUS. Don't you...?!
Afchief, I'm disappointed in you. The correct answer, of course, is 'Lemon v. Kurtzman is only an "opinion"!!!!!!!!!'
Amendment I
This provision has been incorporated against the states. See Everson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 1 (1947)
Dodging the (very valid) question, I see. Or else in afchief's warped mind, "free exercise" of religion means allowing religious people do do whatever the hell they want, including trampling on the rights of the non-religious. And by "religious" in this case, I mean "Christians."

Unfortunately, many of them believe just that.
