Founded on Faith

If anyone questions your right to practice/teach religion based on the apparently lacking of the mention of God, and the scant mention of religion in the U.S. A. Constitution, you can tell them you have 248 years (adjust years as time goes on) of provable precedence to support your rights, and a Declaration of Independence defined as a theologic testament that most certainly mentions God.

What the USA Constitution says:

(Duck Duck Go AI Assisted)

The U.S. Constitution addresses religion primarily in Article VI, which states that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification" for federal office holders, and in the First Amendment, which includes the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause, stating that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

There are many Americans who do not believe there is a G-d. If we allow schools to attempt to foster a belief that G-d exists, we are ignoring those people. There are alsomany ways to believe in G-d. Which G-d? and how to demonstrate those beliefs? The separation of church and state was written for many good reasons. I remember when our public schools in New York had bible readings every morning. They read from the new testament and invoked beliefs that were not in step with my family beliefs. It was terrible for me. I was made to feel like an "other" Reply
