Need help with Seperation Church/State argument

[FreedomAngel82]

I need some good resources that show the Seperation of Church and State in an argument. Thanks in advanced.

1. Check out the Americans United website

www.au.org

They should have some resources.

Liberals like Christ

3. I'd say 200-plus years of Supreme Court decisions should be a good

indicator.

Of course quotes from the Treaty of Tripoli (which upon ratification by Congress, pursuant to the Constitution, became the Supreme Law of the Land) "As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

4. Try the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment ....

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Good enough for me.

And yes - sticking "under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance to send a message to the Commies in 1956 is establishing a religion and thus unconstitutional, imo.
