"Separation of church and state" is a phrase used by Thomas Jefferson and others expressing an understanding of the intent and function of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States which reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." The intent of this clause was to limit the power of the Federal Government in regard to religion thus ensuring freedom of religion in the United States of America. The phrase "separation of church and state" is generally traced to a January 1, 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson, addressed to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut, and published in a Massachusetts newspaper. Jefferson wrote, “ "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."[1] ” Jefferson was echoing the language of the founder of the first Baptist church in America, Roger Williams who had written in 1644 of "[A] hedge or wall of separation between the garden of the church and the wilderness of the world."Article Six of the United States Constitution also specifies that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."[spoiler]didn't feel like looking through the actual constitution.[/spoiler]

Heh, thanks for saving me an hour of research, m8. Not that I was gonna argue with the guy anyways, but still. I commend you.

Very good now the point of it was that that church was trying to create law. They have no right to but the Constitution is based off judeao christian principles stating that our inalienable rights come from God not government which ultimately protects your rights to believe in any God you want and practice how you want. Noone has ever tried making a law restricting that on the right ever

They.... [spoiler]weren't christian. @DeistsTheistsandAutomobiles.[/spoiler]

2 were diests and that just means they believe in god
-
In A god. Not necessarily your particular god.
-
They did though

They believed in god, yes, but that was because the church was essentially affixed to every part of life back then. They did not think our nation should be founded on any one religion's principals, but that it should be a nation where a person was able to believe whatever they wanted, pray to any god or gods they chose, etc. The basic rights in the Declaration and Constitution are heavily based on the humanist movement, and have no real basis in Religion.
