Einstein believed in the god of Spenoza.

Then he was religious. It's hardly rocket science, bronto.

And the word "god" can mean anything.

No, the word God cannot mean no God. That's just silly.

In my opinion, saying "In God We Trust" in America as the national motto and as part of our nation anthem is an establishment of religious freedom.

How is it an establishment of religion if it doesn't establish any particular religion? It just says "god", which can mean anything.

For the same reason a democratic election is an establishment of politics without establishing any particular party.

Anything else, dopey?

I never said the phrase was an establishment of religion, I said it could be seen as an establishment of religious freedom.
