...there's a Church and State separation? When someone takes an Oath, oftentimes the last statement is "So Help Me God".
In the preamble of a constitution the word "God" is often found.
Is there really a separation between the church and State?
I'm just curious. What can you say on this!
 
The "separation of church and state" came generations after the founding of this country and is not a part of the U.S. constitution. The founding fathers were not intent on separating all aspects of church from any aspect of the state as is presumed by some today; merely they were intent on preventing any religion from being mandated, sanctioned and sponsored by the government, e.g. the Church of America. The idea of "separation of church and state" is nothing more than an attempt at the elimination of God from the state, by enemies of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, which rights come from God. If the concept of God and His inalienable rights are removed from public consciousness, then those rights can be usurped by those who seek power over life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
