Church And State

Description

American was not founded on Christianity. That it simply a face and I do not say that to cause dissent. No, I am not a monotheist but I obviously have plenty of friends from various religions who would also agree. Church matters should stay within the church, government matters should stay within the government. 

We need to move beyond the days of making laws based on The Bible or any other holy book if we truly want to be a free country. Slavery, segregation, laws against interracial marriage, laws against homosexual marriage, and laws against women voting were all supported by various individuals and members of the court using religion as justification. That is not okay.

America is truly diverse and we have people with all different types of beliefs. The more open-minded we are to one another the more this country will thrive. I could argue on the topic day in and day out. Everyone is better off respecting each other's differences and keeping themselves informed. Knowledge is the true power.

“I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.” -George Carlin
