17. Religion Should Not Be In Government At All
Fri Apr 11, 2025, 04:18 PM
Apr 2025

Religion is a private matter and should be kept out of the public sphere. If you bring Christianity into the Federal Government, this opens the door to bringing in all sorts of different beliefs and non beliefs. It is a violation of the Separation of Church and State, and is a threat to Freedom of Religion, as one religion or denomination can take hold and exclude other religions and denominations. Religion should remain a private matter for its own protection. Government must remain secular and neutral on the subject of religion. People are free to worship in their Churches, Synagogues, Mosques, Temples, etc. It is a private matter. Keep it out of the government.
