[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would bother me too, and I am on the membership team at my church. There should be separation between church and state. It's one of the foundations of our country, and for good reason.[/quote] There was a separation between church and state according to letters written by Thomas Jefferson, and a clause in the Constitution barring tests for office. The First Amendment required that Congress create no law establishing a "national" religion, but states still had many religious laws. Finally, "God" and his nickname, "Providence" was called upon continually by all early officeholders, including those who actually were at the Constitutional Convention, unlike Jefferson. Christianity was assumed; it was warring sects that the Founders wanted to avoid. [/quote]
