Our Constitution recognises no other power than that of persuasion, for enforcing religious observances.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
No power of government ought to be employed in the endeavor to establish any system or article of belief on the subject of religion.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
The constitution is a sacred document in a democracy.
Freedom of religion is a fundamental Constitutional principle. It's a founding principle of this country.
The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
Power's not what the Constitution was about.
The First Amendment only says 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.' It can disrespect all it wants.
The concept of neutrality can lead to a brooding and pervasive devotion to the secular and a passive, or even active, hostility to the religious. Such results are not only not compelled by the Constitution, but, it seems to me, are prohibited by it.
While we have a Constitution that is very strong in the sense that we are not gonna have a religion that's sanctioned by the government, it doesn't mean that we need to have a separation between government and religion.
