In your opinion, is there a seperation of church and state in the current government of United Sates?

Answer 1

In my opinion, there is separation but there is religious influence.

Answer 2

Opinion does not change facts:
Perhaps it would be of interest for some to learn the intention of the statement which seems to be bounced around like it is gospel. The original intent was to prevent the same thing which had been done by England. Created the "Church of England". There has been no religion established by the government. Nor is one intended. By the same token, there is to be no restriction by the government, on the practice of any religion. How this has been twisted and manipulated, by the court system.. is next to magical. With the ACLU doing its part to eliminate the christian religion altogether.(A feat prophetically proclaimed to occur, more than 2000 years ago)

Answer 3

Yes. There is separation of church and state in the US. Because of the personal beliefs of individual politicians you may feel that they are biased, but the church does not run the government.

The government of Iran is a theocracy with no separation of religion and state. The Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei He (not President Ahmadi-Nejad) is the commander-in-chief of Iran's military and under the preamble of the constitution of Iran, "The Assembly of Experts...fram[ed] the Constitution...[after input] by the government...with the hope that this century will witness the establishment of a universal holy government and the downfall of all others."

One of the goals of Ayatollah Khamenei is the foundation of a Shiite Islamic khalifah from Iran to Lebanon and then the extablishment of the "universal holy government".

Answer 4

I think the wall between church and state is still there, sound as always. Liberals have tried over the last 50 years to refashion it as a wall around the church, but have thus far failed. Having a christian president who speaks frankly about his faith does not erode the wall any. Despite the alarmist rhetoric from the left we're a long way from a theocracy.

Answer 5

The current administration is the most trickiest administration that USA has seen in Decades of its existance. Bush is hiding behind the christian radicals, same as Osama is hiding behind the muslim radicals. The persistant lies by the current administartion had put USA at more risk, and at a thousands years of warfare with an enemy, whose sole objective was to drag USA onto their own turf, like they drew The soviet Union into Afghanistan.

Answer 6

not with this administration, Bush is trying to force upon us all his religious and moral views (which is pretty sad considering he's used cocaine, was an alcoholic, and worst of all is a "born-again" Christian)

since when were we supposed to write hatred, bigotry and discrimination into our Constitution? what ever happened to equal rights for all?

I thought republicans were for less government, so why are they trying to govern peoples lives and dictate what personal (and often difficult) choices they make

a person is entitled to be gay and should have the same legal rights with their partners

abortions are a personal choice, not one that I'd make personally, but I still feel that a woman has a right to choose

religious conservatives should be more worried about their own children than trying to impose their views on mine and everyone else's

a new cancer vaccine is available but they don't want it to be required cause it protects against an STD, but what they don't care to realize is that HPV is a skin-to-skin infection so it doesn't really matter if their little girls are abstaining from vaginal intercourse, if her infected boyfriend is rubbing his infected penis on her genitals even without penetration she could get it too

emergency contraception is available but they blocked OTC access for so damn long (like it matters that there's an age restirction anyway, young girls are just gonna go to an older friend/aunt/cousin/whatever to buy it for them)

stem-cells could be the best thing to ever happen in modern medicine but Bush has blocked federal funding for research. I say use all those left-over embryos from fertilization treatments for stem-cell research but he says adopt those embryos but I respond what about all those kids sitting in orphanages and in foster care and such that never get adopted. Why no push for all these good Christians to love thy neighbor and take on one of these troubled kids?

Oh, it's too much work for them, but they can force it on everyone else

HAHAHA what a bunch of a$ses!!!
