"I believe the inclusion of the phrase "separation of church and state" in the constitution is pure genius considering when it was written."

Unfortunately, appreciation of that principle has been fading. Jefferson and others are no doubt spinning in their graves...

True. It's amazing how they are trying to find any excuse to merge church and govt. Truly scary. Writing is on the wall if this goes further.

Re "I wonder if there's a correlation between a country going down hill and religious fanatics taking control?"

Have you heard of country of Iran? I believe the inclusion of the phrase "separation of church and state" in the constitution is pure genius considering when it was written.


The whole Constitution suggests genius given the time it was written. We are the most fortunate people in the world to have started our nation in that manner.
