Sad that so many still don’t understand this simple concept

[rustyross]

But that doesn't work in their favor.

[Dr._Brian]

Including the 27 amendments, the Untied states constitution 7, 591 words...
Not one of them is God, Jesus, Christianity, Catholicism, or Bible. Your move, ROOKIE 😂

[garretthampson]

If you want state and church combined move to hungry where they actually have a church tax that you pay along with your regular taxes.

[DAD]

David, you fail to realize that facts means nothing to the conservative WRONG.

[taterkaze]

"look it up rookie" - an old MAGAt wrote that for sure.

Separation of Church and State is very real and its meaning is written in the 1st Amendment.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ... "

Our Founding Fathers knew very well that when religion was permitted to rule, it always ended in the violation of human rights. They not only witnessed the religious persecuting each other in England but also right here in America. Yes, the Puritans came here for religious freedom, but then they started persecuting anyone who wasn't Puritan or anyone who had different religious views by beating, banishing, and killing.

This is why the language of the 1st Amendment builds a wall between church and state. They understood that there was no freedom of religion WITHOUT freedom from religion.

Do you know why and how we know this? Because the founders told us. We have records of their meetings, letters, communications, etc. They explicitly wanted a secular government. Our founders were diverse when it came to religion. Some were Christian, some were Deists, some were non-religious, and some were atheists.

PS- there's no such thing as Judeo-Christian values. It's just something modern politicians made up. Much less the foundation of our Constitution.

[JerryC]

I love when D student righties chime in like they know what they’re talking about

[verdeazul]

If you don't accept that part of the constitution you are free to leave the United States. Yes, I'm talking to you, evangelical christians.

[ARandomAccountYT]

Conservative owned with facts and logic 😎

[honodle]

"Congress shall make no laws respecting the establishment of a religion."

[jayumble]

David, my Dad was a minister of the Christian faith and he always said that the only reason we (United States of America) are as progressive as we are is because we have separation of church and state. When there isn't separation of church and state you experience things like Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran...etc. you get the point. Thank God for separation of church and state!

The Revolutionary War and the framing of the Constitution happened less than 100 years after the Salem/New England witch trials and the founders wanted to establish that nothing like that should happen again.

In 1692, The British Crown agreed that Puritan leaders should handle their own witchcraft problem in their community, seeing it as a religious matter. Consequently, the Crown gave over to the religious inquisitors the full power of the law to accuse and conduct their own witch trials. Of course, it wasn't long before the Puritans started accusing Puritans and non-Puritans alike, and of course, things went very wrong for a great number of people, with that kind of authority in the hands of religious zealots who used crazy stuff like "spectral evidence" as a valid basis for imprisonment, seized assets, and even lethal legal prosecution.

Our Founding fathers had that very much in mind when framing our Constitution. They well recognized that religious and civil law do not mix. There's a reason it's the First Amendment. Religious zealots with authority become autocrats very quickly. It never fails to become oppressive.

[skye.]

I'm a conservative but this is one thing I agree with you on. We have a lot of people on the right tending to be mostly Catholic for some reason who wants to insist that there should be no separation between church and state simply because it's not written explicitly in the Constitution but as you pointed out no establishment of religion means no religious control of the state. And I think that's wise. I don't understand the opposite argument unless you want theocracy

[davidgray]

I find that when they can't find any proof of their claims they will instead tell you to look it up.

[melsafken]

Then several laws recently passed are Unconstitutional?
How do we stop them?

[john]

You want politics out of churches then get you churches out of politics 🤷🏼‍♂️

[mbustube]

On this date in 1953 Eisenhower signed off on changing the national motto from E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One) to In God We Trust. We went from, Let's all pull together, to Whatever, God (the Judeo-Christian one, presumably) will take care of us.

[Stansbrokenhandle]

There may certainly be a letter written by someone to someone where something about separation of church and state was recorded but just ignoring that it's literally in the US Constitution is just a bonehead move.

[fullmetal]

The idea of the current reading of second amendment was from a letter as well.
