The radical left has twisted “separation of church and state” into a weapon against religious freedom. This phrase isn’t in our Constitution. Thomas Jefferson wrote it in 1802 to reassure Baptists that government wouldn’t control their faith. It was about protecting churches from government tyranny.
Jefferson’s letter promised that the First Amendment built “a wall of separation.” That wall shielded religious groups from government interference. It never meant kicking God out of public life. Our founders wanted religious voices in the marketplace of ideas.
Today’s activists misuse this phrase to silence believers. They want to erase religious symbols from public spaces. They attack school prayer and faith-based charities. This violates the true meaning of church-state separation.
Our First Amendment clearly protects religious expression. It stops government from favoring one religion but allows people of faith to speak freely. The Supreme Court got it right in 1947: government must stay neutral toward religion, not hostile.
America was founded on biblical principles. Our laws and traditions draw from Christian moral truths. Pushing religion out of public life destroys our nation’s foundation. We’ve seen the chaos that follows when society abandons faith.
True separation means government can’t force religion on anyone. It doesn’t mean religious people can’t influence laws. Our founders quoted scripture while writing the Constitution. They never imagined a godless public square.
Conservatives must fight to restore the original meaning. Religious freedom includes the right to express faith in public. We won’t let secular bullies rewrite history. Our country needs God’s guidance now more than ever.
The Founding Fathers’ vision is clear: a nation where faith flourishes free from government control. That’s the American way. We must reclaim this principle before it’s too late.
