Separation of Morality and Society By JB Williams

"They call it 'Separation of Church and State' and they say it is in our constitution, that the two, religion and affairs of the state, shall never mingle. They say that the founders established a 'separation clause' for the purpose of making certain that government could never establish, endorse, acknowledge or even discuss religion or morality.
Of course, none of this is factually true or accurate. But decades of intentional politically motivated disinformation on the subject and a general acceptance of the notion among those who have not bothered to verify, has caused a growing separation between basic moral tenants of free civilized co-existence and individual moral self-governance, from society at large.
The basis for a separation of religion from government affairs exists only in two places in American history. First, in the First Amendment of the Constitution which plainly says exactly what the founding fathers intended it to say, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.'"
