Sure, I've heard of it, but the folks in charge of "my" government sure
seem  confused on the issue.  Or are we forgetting those bits of rhetoric
espousing "one-nation-under-God", "in-God-we-trust", and
"don't-corrupt-the-sacred-institute-of-marriage"?

Following the rule in some situations but not others is just plain hypocrisy.
