Constitutions in loop
Steven Weinberg narrates :->
"In 1983, shortly after coming to Texas, I was invited to testify
before a committee of the Texas Senate on a regulation that
forbade the teaching of the theory of evolution in state-purchased
high-school textbooks unless equal emphasis was given to creationism.
One of the members of the committe asked me how the state could
support the teaching of a scientific theory like evolution that
was so corrosive of religious belief. I replied that just as it
would be wrong for those who are emotionally committed to atheism
to give evolution more emphasis than would be otherwise appropriate
in teaching biology, so it would be inconsistent with the First
Amendment to give evolution less emphasis as a means of protecting
religious belief. It is simply not the business of the public
schools to concern themselves one way or the other with the
religious implications of scientific theories. My answer did not
satisfy the senator because he knew as I did what would be the
effect of a course in biology that gives an appropriate emphasis
to the theory of evolution. As I left the committe room, he
muttered that "God is still in heaven anyway.' Maybe so, but
we won that battle;.....but there are many places (today specially
in Islamic countries) where this battle is yet to be won and
no assurance anywhere that it will stay won."
Thus executed Weinberg the First Amandment in the name of scientific
theories which are metamorphosed into revelations of God by his
bewitchment.

INDEED SO :->
"The fourth major reform of the National Assembly was the Civil
Constitution of the Clergy. This had nothing to do with the doctrinal
matters but concentrated on the reorganization of the episcopal
structure and the status of the clergymen as civilians. Since the
National Assembly had taken over the church lands and issued bonds,
certificates, and paper money (_assignats_) with those lands as
security, it now assumed the obligation of clergymen's salaries. In
return, the Civil Constitution required that the clergy be elected and
that they take an oath of loyalty "to be faithful to the nation, to
the law, and to the King, and to maintain with all [their] power
the Constitution decreed by the National Assembly and accepted by the
King [2]."

[Amendment of ARTICLE ONE]
CONGRESS shall make no LAW respecting an ESTABLISHMENT of RELIGION...
(the Constitution of THE USA)
(key-words: Congress, law, establishment, religion)
I think it is time to make this Amendment more picturesque ? :->
[Further Amendment of ARTICLE ONE]
CONGRESS shall make no LAW respecting an ESTABLISHMENT of RELIGION -
except of its own as it shall be ESTABLISHED by LAW made by CONGRESS....
(the Constitution of THE USA)
(key-words: Congress, law, establishment, religion)
Just because Pharaoh said :-> "Moses will alter your RELIGION."

"the recent reform of the constitution in Costantinople
(i.e. the revolution) is entirely due to the American
mission." They have so educated the country (without
touching the politics) that public opinion rejoiced
in reform. They have colleges all over Syria, and Asia Minor,
and in Constantinople (mostly self-supporting) and in
all of them the religious side is emphasised: also
every school is a mission station'.
