...separation of God and faith from our government and leaders, rather than the separation of a state-sponsored [set of] religion[s] that could lead to oppression. This in fact is what our ancestors were fleeing in Europe and the UK. I think alot of this confusion that many Americans, especially non-church goers, have with this issue, is that they do not clearly understand the difference between organized religion and a deep personal faith in God. Ultimately, our government (and society) seems to be simply abandoning God where public money is used on the grounds that our Constitution prohibits it, and our Forefathers intended it to be this way. I find that ironic in light of the deep faith G. Washington had in Christ...of his many public speeches referencing the Lord, now carved in our landmarks....Jefferson, too. What are your thoughts?
