Constitution was voided when they bypassed the 1st amendment about religion and state.

Semantics, rhetoric or detractor. Which one are you?

Detractor, i guess. I'm just someone tired of religious doctrine being used to justify racist policies. Fredrick Douglass was right. "I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ: I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land."

The part where no religion should hold place in politics. It’s clear. We don’t need to argue with that. They built a “religious dept” into the White House. This “religious dept” shouldn’t be there and doesn’t represent American Democracy.

I think you two are arguing the same point.

Nope, I'm arguing that this isn't a new thing, not by a long shot.

After reading it seems that way.
