"to the victors go the spoils"
Can’t blame you. We need to turn it around and leave it like it is. When I was in grammar school I remember our teacher would read a verse from the Bible and after we would we would recite the Lord’s Prayer and pledge of allegiance to our country! Something’s should never have been messed with. You can see the results in our schools today.
You're accusing others of rewriting history while doing exactly that. The Founders explicitly rejected the idea of a theocratic state — that's why the First Amendment exists. "Separation of church and state" comes from Jefferson himself, and the courts have upheld that principle for centuries. Acknowledging personal faith ≠ endorsing religious control over government. Twisting that to fit a modern political agenda is the real revisionism.
Revisionist history is necessary, particularly as it related to the 20th century.
It doesn't mean an endorsement of atheism, which is what it has become in practice.
The issue is that this presumes that government/politics can be neutral on questions of religion or morality, and it's not.
How many times are God or Christian or Christianity mentioned in the Constitution?
Amazing how quickly we went from the Information Age to the Disinformation Age
And there’s tons of myth surrounding what the signers faith truly was, too. Atheism isn’t a religion…. but I suppose it could be a belief, or rather lack thereof. The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing separating church and state. They had endured generations of bad governance, wars, abuse in the name of one “church” or other. SCOTUS hat it correct in banning religion from public institutions too. My wife taught elementary for 40 years. She believed that religion is a topic for parents and families. I agree. The teachers have enough to worry about.
Atheism is a religion. Agnostism could be viewed as passive apathy to deeper questions of the universe but atheism represents the same conviction of faith as any other religion.
