    The ACLU has, from its inception, been an anti-religious entity.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

    The rest, with the exception of two"non-religious, but not antagonistic to religion, governors, were people of faith, preachers, and stalwart churchgoers.

So? Reverence for the founding fathers is the kind of backwards bullshit that literally no other country experiences and keeps us from repealing arcane legislation like the 2nd Amendment.

The ACLU, and other entities such as Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, has their right to exist and express themselves, and their suppositions. However, to use those suppositions as the bedrock of societal behavior is a stretch. Those entities mentioned above express such anathema towards people of faith and their expressions of faith and it is so ironic that it was a bunch of mostly Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Anglicans, Jewish states persons, a few Catholics , a couple of Deists, and a couple of Agnostics that guaranteed your right to exist and express yourselves.
