I cannot agree here at all gentlemen. Establishing a government preference for any religion is completely at odds with the intentions of the founders and is expressly forbidden by the Constitution. While the US was certainly founded by Christians, and remains a largely Christian nation, it is easy to forget how much persecution of different denominations of Christianity occurred in our nations younger days.
Allowing this, and even worse requiring it, opens the floodgates for every other religion to demand equal access. Better to keep the separation of church and state in place as intended by the Framers in rather than open those floodgates.
