My argumentative report for my midterm in English is about this topic exactly: religious persecution in schools. This whole “church and state” thing is a bunch of baloney, it was never a part of the Constitution at all. It was actually inferred later by people acting out against the Catholic Church and their school systems, believe it or not. The abolishment of public religion was exactly the opposite of what our forefathers intended the Constitution to enforce. On the contrary, the amendment was written to ensure that the government could never in fact establish one national religion. They wanted to protect the rights of every individual religion to keep from becoming like England. Now this secular movement is having exactly the opposite effect. Isn’t athiesm a religion? And aren’t we establishing athiesm as our nation’s religion by outlawing God in schools, in the workplace, in the courts, in everywhere He used to be freely loved and adored?
There is nothing that makes me more upset than when I hear the phrase “Church and State”. We’re letting them destroy our freedom to practice our own religion, we’re letting them rip away our Constitution rights, and we’re letting them desecrate the name of our Lord. When will it stop?
