The Separation of Church and State in America Should NOT Be Absolute E

Religion is the most influential factor in human order. It is the core of our origination and has become a way of life in all cultures. The impact religion has had on the United States is overwhelming. This country was founded on the principle of Christianity. Thomas Jefferson drafted the proclamation of Independence, and James Madison articulated our countries constitution with the opinion that the Christian faith would establish and govern this great society. Merriam-Websters online dictionary defines religion as, any specific strategy of belief, worship, conduct, etc., often involving a code of ethics and a philosophy. (merriam-webster.com) This definition incorporates all individuals. All American citizens, acknowledging or not, are included in a belief system. Even atheism belief if no God, is a form of religion. During the past thirty years or so, our country has seen a decline in the type of religion. With people casting shadows over their religion and putting their fai th in separation of church and state, we have seen our country developing moral relativity. This moral relativity is dangerous ground. Most people are ignorant of their religion, not being able to give reasons for their belief. This religious illiteracy in America instantly has tragically developed the notion that separation of church and state should be absolute thus creating a moral relativity which has had devastating impacts on our country. Religious literacy is something American citizens should explore and value. This literacy is the understanding of the beliefs of people being able to justify ones religion through external evidences. Most Americans cannot do this. The major religion of the United States today is Christianity. Over 90% of the p... ...try of good citizens, we need to get away from this notion of relative morality, and turn towards the belief that this country was developed upon, that is to say the absolute skilful and wrongs Christianity has to offer. Only t hen can sustain our society, a moral society.Works CitedKen Ham (1).
