"no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the
United States."
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
I think it is absolutely absurd that churches are tax exempt |

It's imperative to a free society, the founding fathers were very wise when they repeatedly rejected
the idea of permitting religious entanglement with the government.
As the Treaty of Tripoli says, "The United States is in no way founded upon the Christian religion"
and it needs to stay that way, permanently. |

I don’t really know what else to say, other than “I agree”. |

I believe we have taken this issue of separation too far. When a candidate like Mike Huckabee is
told by the left that he should not be allowed to hold office because of his religious views we are
violating the constitution's "no religious test" clause. He has the right to his religion just like
everyone else. |

I think that the separation of church and state has been hugely misunderstood. There is no such
verbiage in our constitution. There is the establishment clause which states "Congress shall make
no law respecting the establishment of a religion". That's it. No separation of church and state,
but no establishment of a state sponsored religion. This was to promote greater freedom in the
practice of religion. Our founders were very devout.
We have become a world obsessed with the rights of minorities, to the point where we are suffering
from the "tyrrany of the minority". We are bullied by political correctness to the point where we
have censorship and don't even recognize it as such. We are giving away more and more freedoms to
protect the feelings of a few people. |
