So I went to DMV this morning...
Can someone explain how this does not violate the separation of church and state?
A violation of the separation of Church and State?

They are trying to "steer" you in the wrong direction -

The DMV is not sponsoring or endorsing the message. I don't see the conflict. -

They are allowing religious activities (a form of JW worship) at the entrance of a governmental building. -

The infamous "seperation of church and state" ghost-law has surfaced again. Anyways, chances are that if those friends did not get some sort of permission to park there they will prob be asked to leave sooner or later. -

You're chances of the DMV actually providing what they offer are better, too. :smirk:

It is a public land and they can have it there or no one can have it there. They can not discriminate.

I'm not suggesting discrimination. People of all beliefs are welcome to the government service provided there. However, should any religious group be allowed to proselytize and promote their views on state land?

Typically the rule is that if they allow one group, they must allow any group. The other option is to allow no one to do it. That's why you end up with things like this:
C/N: Colorado said that religious organizations could proselytize in schools and have the schools distribute their literature to kids. Christian organizations passed out bibles and pamphlets, so atheists passed out satanist stuff to mock theism.

O yea... there is no such thing as "separation of church and state" in the constitution. On the other hand there is this establishment cause.
