The separation of church and state is how we are able to have freedom of religion, or mor i mportantly the freedom from religion. That is the reason why we have a separation church and state. I learned this in elementary school (4th grade). Why didn't he?
An idea put forth by the Founding Fathers and seen fit for inclusion in the Constitution is un-American??
How does that work?
I liked the speech by JFK. He had to say these things since his family were practicing Catholics and no prior Catholic had been elected as President, One of th fears at the time was that the Pope would tell him what to do , and he would do it. I think Santorum likes to grab headlines.
Thomas Jefferson was pretty damned clear about where he stood on the issue.
So was Benjamin Franklin.
Santorum likes to cherry-pick the things he'll use to support his religious beliefs.
He will also use whatever he wants to support his political beliefs, as well.
How true ; worryingly like the emperor on
the throne-buy ,spin,or bury news.
