Since we have both Canadians and Americans weighing in on this topic, something to keep in mind:
"If people tell you they want to stick to the hard and fast rule of separation of church and state, tell them to consult Canada’s laws. That’s an
American law. In Canada our laws are governed by
religious accommodation."
