Seperation of Church and State

This little phrase has caused quite a bit of trouble in years past, but recently, probably due to the confused and muddled presidential elections, it has not cropped up anywhere prominently.

The ACLU, or the American Civil Liberties Union, is a left-wing, communist, liberal activist group, which does nothing to defend Civil Liberties. In their defense, their name says NOTHING about defending them. Instead, this organizations only goal seems to be to whittle away at our basic rights and freedoms. Now the ACLU uses a clause entitled "Seperation of Church and State," quite frequently in their court cases.
Hard core liberals insist that it has been laser-etched into the constitution, and equally hard-core conservatives maintain that nothing remotely like it has ever existed.

Both are wrong.

In the first amendment, the following statement is written: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
In short, the government is not allowed to make laws that mess around with religon.
Liberal lawyers have taken to calling this amendment "The Seperation of Church and State."

Liberals, being idiots, blindly except their skewed interpretation of the first amendment as fact, saying that the Constitution forbids ANY interaction between government and "church," or religon. This, like most liberal beliefs, is incorrect.
The amendment does not want a social seperation of church and state, but a legal one. Why? Because at the time of the revolution, the English government and the Anglican church were closely intertwined. The Anglican Church was the official church and religon of England. Americans have always wanted to worship freely, remember the pilgrims?
No other church besides the church officially designated by the government was allowed in Britain. The national church was even roping in tax money to run themselves, because they were the "official church."

The amendment in the constitution was to prevent government from infecting the church, or having either one controlling the other. Although some might think things would run smoother, we do not live in a theocracy, therefore, no single church should be allowed to make laws and enforce them.
Now before some idiots misinterpret what I'm saying, let me finish. This amendment says government has no right to restrict or abolish religon. Therefore, the ACLU atheist nutjobs who have been trying to use this to their advantage, should look again. If the government is not allowed to inhibit and restrain religous practice, then there is no Constitutional law saying that nothing judeo-christian should be allowed on government property. If the founding fathers wanted our nation to be atheist, then why do we open our congress sessions with prayer? Why do we swear on a bible in court?

Because our nation was founded on the princibles from religon. Without those princibles, our government would degrade into meaningless chaos, so maybe we should not be so quick to abolish them.
