...but the 1st Amendment IMPLIES it.

And these religious nitwits will never understand that the separation PROTECTS THEM.

The separation was REQUIRED to keep the religious factions from abusing and killing each other in the nations infancy.
It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant religious leaders are to our early history. That, and the made-up bullshit of how our country was started as a "christian" nation. WRONG!! The founding fathers were a lot smarter back then than the current Reich Wing in America is today. They put in place a framework where ALL RELIGIONS (and NO religion) could coexist in harmony.

It prevented the new nation from the mindless violence that one faction heaps on another for not believing "correctly".
It's why our ancestors left Europe in the first place, to escape religious tryanny.

Yet these fucking Nazi, racist, anti-semites want to bring us back to the Dark Ages.
Using violence, if necessary. (.see "KKK", anti-abortion activists, ICE, Jan 6th, etc.)

They can go fuck themselves.
