America has something called a "wall of separation between church and state". These days, because of the coronavirus thing, we have a wall of separation between cashier and customer.

Google:

Jefferson's concept of "separation of church and state" first became a part of Establishment Clause jurisprudence in Reynolds v. ... Citing Jefferson, the court concluded that "The First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state. That wall must be kept high and impregnable."

Here in the northwestern Illinois farm town where I live there are zero people infected with the coronavirus but we are not taking any chances. Our schools are closed. Our restaurants are closed. Our wonderful library is closed. And today I noticed at the grocery store they have a glass wall between the cashier and the customer. There are signs that say customers should keep a safe distance from other customers.

I looked something up. Most of the churches are closed. That's a good thing. The customers (aka suckers) will find out there are better things to do on a Sunday morning than praying to a god fairy that doesn't exist.
