Separation of Church and State Rally

1st First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ." The modern concept often credited to the writings of English philosopher John Locke, the phrase "separation of church and state" is generally traced to an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists

There is no such thing as "seperation of Church and State" that phrase is not in the Constitution! No where in the Constitution or Amendments are the words "seperation" "church" or "state". Not only that but the phrase is not found in ANY founding document. Please people- actually read the Constitution before you comment ,otherwise you continue to show your ignorance just as JFK and others who did not actualy read the Constitution.

We have no goverment armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion...Our Constitution was made ONLY for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the goverment of any other.

-John Adams October 11, 1798

John Adams-one of only two founders to sign the Bill of Rights (and thus the First Amendment)-believed that our Constitution would function improperly without religious values and standards in society

President George Washington (who presided over the formation of both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights), in his "Farewell Address "confirmed that under American public policy, religious teachings and values must NEVER be removed from public arenas. He even pronounced religion and morality as the two most important foundations for political prosperity in America, decalring of all habits that lead to political prosperity religion and morality are indispensable supports.

i hope religion remembers that GOD gave us free will and reliigion wants to take it away, if they can't live side by side with other religous people and with gays in peace then want gives them the right to enter heaven, SO what would jesus do.

You'll be sorry when the government is mandating everything you do. There is a reason why we have seperation of church and state, to preserve both people.
