	Editorial: Getting religion / The national motto is a pawn in the culture wars
		Although the bill tries to defend its own constitutionality, saying the motto passes court scrutiny if "the purpose of the display is to advance or endorse the national motto rather than a particular religious belief or practice," it is disingenuous to suggest that the proposed law isn't motivated by religion.
		Religious zealots should be opposed when their obvious if unstated intent is to deploy the national motto as a battering ram to put another hole in the wall separating church and state, a wall that has been under constant assault in the Bush years, even though religion in America has always prospered in its shadow.
		The introduction of the motto bill follows the lead of a national campaign launched by the American Family Association, an ultraconservative group that supports the so-called traditional family values of conservative Christians.
