(or even presidents) for that matter. (watch the video 8 mins long)
"but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." (Article VI, Clause 3)
Quote:Additionally, the 1st Amendment states:Which simply means we will never have "the church of the united states as their was/is a church of england.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
Quote:or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"This little bit here.. Also keeps people from telling government officials they can not exercise their religion even in an official capacity.
Quote:It seems, then, that the founding fathers made it quite explicit that "God" should not be involved in how we govern ourselves, but rather that public officials did not have to be religious, and that the government of the United States could not declare any official religion.If that were even remotly true then why is their so much history that shows religion specifically a generic form of Christianity being up held through out our nations history right up to the last 30 or 40 years?
What makes you think otherwise?
Again watch the video.
