America does not want a state church. England has a state church — the Anglican Church. America does not want one denomination considered The Nation’s Church.
On the other hand, America has a religious heritage. It’s not Muslim. It’s not Hindu. It’s not Shinto. It’s not animism. It’s not New Age. It’s not Paganism. It’s not Voodoo. It’s Judeo-Christian.

There is no such thing in the US Constitution.
“LIBS DON’T GET SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE”
“There is no such thing in the US Constitution.”
That’s exactly what they don’t get - it’s NOT in the Constitution the way they think it is.
It puzzles me that the libs are so scared of a theocracy or some type of imposition of religious values- when we religious do not want one either. But the left has no problem shoving their irreligious beliefs down our throats along with their constant excuses for Islam.
Why are the Jews and Christians such a threat to the globalists? Because they know we won't be enslaved.
If there were truly ‘’separation of church and state’’ the government would stay open on Christmas.
Just keep your church separated from what I believe and we’ll all get along just fine. I don’t need the government or anyone else telling me what they have decided that Jesus thought or did.
Separation of church and state is a well established and time honored constitutional principle, not to mention, tradition. Let’s keep it that way, thank you very much.

Sure there is; if you take the phrase to mean the separation of the state from the operations of the church... that is EXACTLY what the 1st Amendment is talking about when it says Congress cannot make/institute a national/official religion.
In other words: it is not the government’s business what religion you practice, nor the operations/manners/customs of [a church of] that religion.
The libs don’t fear theocracy; that’s all just a bullshit pretext for crushing the right of free exercise. They want an atheist, communist “heaven on earth” and they see the “separation of church and state” red herring as one of many means toward that end. No, they can read the Constitution and they know exactly what the score is. They’re just going to drive the lazy and weak-willed among us as far and as hard as they can by any means available.
What’s scary is that so many young people just eat up their enviro-statist-cult.
You've hit the nail on the head. They know they can't implement their agenda on a moral society. By marginalizing and suppressing Christianity they create a vacuum that they can then fill with their brand of Marxist dogma.
