Uh...excuse me....a Reverend is upset about the promotion of religion??? {scratches head}  . Interestingly enough, the article does not list Rev. Barry's denomination.

I see nothing ironic about a religious person being in favor of maintaining the separation between Church and State. At least some people are able to realize that keeping the Church and the State separate has nothing to do with persecuting people of religious beliefs (which is a view held by many, including some posters on this forum) and everything to do with maintaining our freedom to practice/abstain from any religion of our choosing.
