Therefore candidates for public office in the US can hold any religion or none at all, and laws passed will not favor any particular religious view-point or dogma. So in that sense there was and is "separation of Church and State" in the United States of America.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-87915599582723965402015-09-04T12:41:07.119+12:002015-09-04T12:41:07.119+12:00What the constitution realy prophibits is having a...What the constitution realy prophibits is having a established religion like the kinds religion back in the 1600's and 1700's there is nothing about any separation of Church & State the ACLU and the rest of the militant athiests have been lying for far too longFlu-Birdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-6873843727972607352015-09-04T10:08:36.309+12:002015-09-04T10:08:36.309+12:00history lesson, nowhere in the constitution does i...history lesson, nowhere in the constitution does it say separation of church and state, it was Thomas Jefferson's interpretationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-53877351264268425972015-09-04T08:32:10.636+12:002015-09-04T08:32:10.636+12:00Anon 1:47 Stay away from FFRF,ACLU and SPLCAnon 1:47 Stay away from FFRF,ACLU and SPLCAlpha Skuanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-17554539395418734062015-09-04T03:56:52.091+12:002015-09-04T03:56:52.091+12:00religious statues = idolatry!religious statues = idolatry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-70440978772035200472015-09-04T02:17:23.969+12:002015-09-04T02:17:23.969+12:00Jesus is a historical figure.
