Separation of Church and State (Part 4)
“Separation of church and state” is a bit of a buzz phrase. What does it mean? Where does it come from? What does it entail that government can and cannot do regarding religion? Conservative Christians claim that it is a myth, pointing out that the phrase never appears in the Constitution. Does the Constitution establish such a separation without using those exact words? Is such a separation a good idea?
KJ and Jay will discuss such issues in the looming shadow of the 2010 midterm election. (Yeah, we know…we are a little late. You can pretend that you are back in time. You can also be thinking about the issue in light of the many issues that surround Christmas. What does the separation of church and state entail about court house nativities, school Christmas plays, and replacing Christmas trees with “holiday trees”?
