Religion and State

When the Constitution was derived from our founding fathers for the United States of America, the First Amendment was made to protect citizens from religious persecution. The First Amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .” (Separation of Church and State) The Supreme Court has found that religion must be separated from our governments and schools completely. America is the great melting pot and there is bound to be conflict over religion were so many different religions are side by side.

The connection between God and America go hand and hand and has been so since the beginning. Our founding fathers believed that our rights were derived from god, Richard Kirk writes, “ (even the very non-Christian patriot Thomas Paine) repeatedly asserted --- that our rights derive from God.”(The stupid separation of religion and state) For the government to deny that God does not exist makes our government bias not neutral.

Heaven is up somewhere, and God lives up in heaven, then were under God.” (ABQ Journal) Saying the pledge is not just for a Christian God but all Gods. The majority is wondering why they are losing the battle to the minority and that we are a democratic society and the majority should have a say and make a difference in the outcome.

In America we are fortunate to have the freedom to choose which religion to practice or God to worship. In Islamic States the government recognizes only Islam as a religion. Denying Allah and Islam is a crime and punishable. People who worship out of the Islamic religion must do so in secret in fear of their government. It is a right guaranteed by the Constitution to have any religious stance you believe in.

Starting in the school system, children hear God over and over, more recently with the Pledge of Allegiance and in the past having religious studies on a daily basis. Morals and beliefs are for parents and the individual to decide for them selves, not the state or school systems. School is a place where development and learning take place it is
