Most people are clueless to that fact and use the founding fathers' separation of Church and State to be anarchists.
I agree that no one should be forced to go to Church or worship in any way, but to argue that God wasn't the basis for morality in this country is ignorant and people need to do their homework.
Actually "separation of church and state" is never mentioned in the Constitution. It was first coined by Thomas Jefferson in response to the Danbury Baptists who had asked for Jeffersons intervention regarding a religious matter in Connecticut.
Jefferson said sorry cant help you... for there must be a wall of separation between the Feds and religious matters of the states.
Leftist judges have taken that phrase and ran with it...cant have the 10 Commandments displayed in a judges courtroom because it violates the separation of church and state clause to which there is no such clause lol.
Congress shall make no law with regards to the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. No official religion is all it says.
