FOLKS -
There is no "Separation of Church and State" clause in our U. S. Constitution or in any other USA historical document. That phrase was used by Justice Black in one of his opinions, and has since been used as a legal precedent without any real constitutional foundation. A judge's opinion is not Constitutional law.
Our U. S. Constitution prohibits our U. S. government from "establishing" religion, i. e. the Church of England, one of the reasons my maternal ancestors left London in 1605 and came to America.
While churches and government should operate totally independent of one another, God should not be excluded from government, schools, the public square or anywhere else in American society. Our Freedom of Religion gives us the right to worship and pray however and wherever we choose without government interference.
And our tax dollars should not be used to support any church or religion; God ordained tithes and offerings for that purpose.
May God bless you, and may He always keep you safe!
Thx, DAN Madison, Mississippi - USA
