The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that comprise the Bill of Rights. This says that there are to be no laws stopping the free exercise of religion or the government establishing a religion. I guess executive orders do not qualify as a law so keeping prayer out of school and Bibles out of military buildings and verses off of cadet lockers is not a law, just an order.
