As for the separation of church and state there are many different opinions but if you consider that the founders came from a monopoly of religion were non believers were prosecuted to death, they meant it when they wanted the church to not have control of any kind in the government. Just review the history and you will know that separation of church and state is what is meant.


Yes. The GOVERNMENT IS NOT TO CONTROL RELIGION, AND RELIGION IS NOT TO CONTROL THE GOVERNMENT.

Keyword: CONTROL

It says nothing about God being taken out of everything. It says nothing about crucial political moral and political civil issues being discussed from the pulpit or within a congregation.

IT DOES NOT MEAN PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THEIR FAITH IN GOD TO DIRECT THEM ON HOW TO VOTE! NONE, ZILCH!!

Glad you pointed that out. I have before in another thread. People tend to talk about amendments without reading into what they actually say and mean (or meant at the time they were created, many were written a long time ago and the meanings of words have changed).
