??? What's lacking in any concrete sense is any link 
between the question and the law of government and religion -- or, more 
specifically, the link between the question and the exclusion of atheists from 
jury service, and whether or not that is or should be 
permissible?(especially given Torcaso v. Watkins).

The question is hardly 
  abstract; jurors face it every day. JL

??? Folks:? Please let's focus on technical 
  legal discussions of the questions of the law of government and 
  religion.? If someone wants to tie these questions to Torcaso v. Watkins, 
  or for that matter to other legal principles, that's great.? But 
  discussions at this level of abstraction, with no tie to concrete legal 
  matters, is not helpful on the list.

Are they to be judges 
    only of "the facts" or also "the law"? And if not "the law," sez who? What 
    is a juror to do if he believes law is unjust -- un-Godly, 
    un-Constitutional?
