Separation of Church and State

New discussion for you "P". There is no such phrase as "Separation between Church and State" in our Bill of Rights or the Constitution. The founders of our country wanted the government to stay out of religion not that religion was to stay out of government. Look at the Bill of Rights based on the Ten Commandments, how about all the statements made about a higher power in so many letters and statements made by our founding fathers. If they wanted religion to be separate from government why all the religious figures, ten commandments, bibles, religious reliefs etc. in our public buildings . They did not want a a government that was ruled by one religion but they believed for the most part that the bible gave people the most freedom and that is why they used it. Most of our founding fathers believed in the Judaic God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They did however, grant that there are many religions out there and that they should all be respected and that people should be able to practice those beliefs without interference from the government. It is not just the "Christian" religion that is being attacked, all religions, except the Muslim religion, are being legislated against.
