I disagree strongly with the concept of separation of church and state. It was not written into the Constitution.

Quite often you hear people say, 'What about separation of church and state?' There is no such thing.

It doesn't say anywhere in the Constitution this idea of the separation of church and state.

I don't believe there is a separation of church and state. I think the Constitution is very clear. The only separation is that there will not be a government church.

It can have a secular purpose and have a relationship to God because God was presumed to be both over the state and the church, and separation of church and state was never meant to separate God from government.

There are some who invoke separation of church and state - to try to get the government out of the business of morality - but this is antithetical to what the founders wanted. The founders wanted to keep theology out of government so that government could focus on the proper business of morality.

I don't believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute. The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country.

Separation of Church and state was a radical idea when the U.S. was first founded, but it's become The Way Things Are.

The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.
