“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”-United Stated Constitution
This Phrase taken for our United States Constitution My question to all of you, is what do you really know about this statement? When you read this, an uneducated person might say, “well the government aint got no business getting all up in my church!”. However one might also say,”Then why are there all of these bloody Christian ideas and beliefs popping up in our government. If the Constitution SAYS, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, then why is our government PROMOTING this particular religion? Why the hell do candidates running for government positions use their religion as a way to gain votes? Why did Congress pass an official act in 1956 to change America’s motto from "E Pluribus Unum" (From many [come] one), to, “IN GOD WE TRUST”? WHY?
To fully understand the power struggle around religion and government, you must first understand that what our fore fathers meant when writing this statement. In the 18th century history the "the Church" meant the Religion Christianity. The people that left England as religious outcasts, left with the idea of religious freedom. , they The Church was referred to as the whole Christian faith. This meant all branches of Christianity . However, the term "the Church" has changed over time, and in today's society includes all religions. Back then when the Constitution was written, we ignored the Native Americans beliefs, and thought of religion as Christianity.

Our country has kept to the phrase "Church separate from the State.", and has never had an Official religion. However, if your question is if we are separate from the Church, my answer is yes. If your question is " Was the United States founded on Christian beliefs, and should those beliefs and labels be followed today?", I would answer you no. Things like the phrase "In GOD we trust", that appear on our currency, on our presidential seal, should not appear, in my opinion. I feel that in most ways, it does violate our Separation from the "Church". It refers exclusively to the Christian God. I can be verified by you copying this Link to your address bar, and going to our United States treasury web-site, and finding the origin of the phrase, "in GOD we trust".
A counter argument I have for my argument, is what Jefferson Really ment when he wrote the phrase “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”. In the federalist papers he wrote explaining his intentions for the constitution he made the statement Separation of Church and state. His intentions were to have the phrase “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”, go both ways, and have our government separate from any kind of church.
The questions asked, must now be out into an action. Ask such questions to your local government official. Challenge them . Challenge the Supreme Court. Give them the argument to change and amend this particular phrase, so that it incorporates both, No interference, and no promotion of a certain religion.
