Just about 200 years ago President John Adams wrote, *"Our Constitution was written for a religious and moral people and is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."* The point made by President Adams is apparent in today's violent statistics on American society. Without this Amendment, without schools that are allowed to teach the difference between right and wrong we are doomed to prison construction programs and social services budgets that will eventually bankrupt us financially and spiritually. Our Founding Fathers did not want freedom from religion; they promoted freedom of religion. Their idea was to make sure that no one sect would be the "official" church as had been the case in England. The problem in England 300 years ago was not church control of the state as American liberals would have us ,believe. The problem was state control of the church. Yet, in America today, the state is grasping hold of and controlling the church and its functions.
