Separation of Church and State:
My notion about Will (as in will-to-math), of which I believe we each constitute a holographic perspective, respects that each of us can and should recognize, intuit, and empathize with one another.
I have no need of any particular name for “God,” nor do I purport any holistically divine revelation direct from God.
Rather, I purport that each of us, holographically, may experience intuitions and insights about a common Source, perhaps supporting an interconnecting sense of enlightened empathy.
I certainly do not claim direct revelation that “God” has ordained that we must or should manifest in any particular aspect.
Rather, I believe we are each responsible to use our own minds to intuit and appreciate that which we should do.
If I am thought “religious,” it could only be by those who believe, contrary to myself, that there is no ultimate Source from which our universe came to be and that there is no relevant cause that is beyond explication or measurement by purely scientific methods.
However, using “religious” in such an adjectival sense is apart from common parlance; such use would not show an affront to any Constitutional prohibition were my philosophical views discussed in a public school forum.
There is nothing necessarily religious or uncommon among many scientific or secular perspectives in considering degrees of freedom (including for free will) within parameter limits.
Nor is there anything necessarily religious or uncommon (even if “spiritual”) in a school address meant to inspire graduates to exercise their wills in good faith and enlightened empathy for the betterment of mankind and civilization.
Rather, my notion of Will-To-Math, being based in intuition and math as opposed to divine revelation, even if implicating meaningful respect for spirituality (as in the “spirit of the law”) for possibly being superior to physicality, is not of such a purely religious aspect as to violate any proscription for separation of Church and State.

From http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=13382 :
“Will Turkey be thought of less by a West eager to pretend to equality with certain Islamic traditions while fearful of Islamic radicalism? Which is more democratic? Restricting religious costuming in the name of secular-demanded separation of state and religion, or allowing limited emblems of religious cultural belief to exist as a symbol of democratic process? And will Turkey's military care?”
