No, on the contrary, separation of church and state was meant to stop the state interfering with the church. The state desperately needs to be return to the Christian roots that are its only source of authority.

 @92WX6NZ from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

No, religion is a very important aspect of our country's history. In fact, I want all Christian and nonreligious elementary and high schools to display the 10 Biblical Commandments in every Classroom and make passing a full Bible study course(including watching and being quized on the movies "The Case for Christ" and "God Is NOT Dead(*3) a mandatory high school graduation requirement for all nonreligious students.

 @93ZP8QG from North Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

No, as long as it does not reference a specific religion. The United States was founded on the ideal of separation of church and state, which means that the ideology of one religion should not be used to govern a country where people of all religions, whether Christian or Jewish, are free to practice.

 @8TP6QKSanswered…4yrs4Y

No, the separation of church and state is meant to keep the state out of the church not the church out of the state

  Deletedanswered…4yrs4Y

No, as long as there are no references to specific religions, a clear separation of church and state exists

Money is debt with artwork on it. I collect it because paper currency looks cool, cooler than coins. What does it matter?

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No, Christianity should be established as the official religion, prayer should be reinstated in public schools, optional religious education should be placed in public schools, and religious symbols should be placed in public areas

 @923HP45 from South Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

remove religion in law but if it has influinced monuments and art who cares

 @8KX67Q9 from California  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but this federal mandate should not apply to any private property.

 @92YHQCV from California  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, because sadly, it creates a bias against religions that do not believe in God but do not waste money removing existing references

 @8H4DF7B from Arizona  answered…4yrs4Y

No but make it very clear in policies that non monotheistic religions and atheism is also allowed in the country.

 @8YJZQSK from New Jersey  answered…3yrs3Y

No, and the Establishment Clause doesn't apply to state or local governments

 @842VWLK from Wisconsin  answered…3yrs3Y

no, while religion in the US does create a lot of bias, it is important to our countries history

 @8CYG8KL from North Carolina  answered…5yrs5Y

It depends, it is apart of our history, but cutting ties with the past can be a good thing.

 @8DJ7T8Y from Ohio  answered…5yrs5Y

By focusing so hard on the Separation of Church and State the Government has violated the First Amendment by passing laws that have promoted Atheism as the State religion.

 @8DZ9CQR from New Jersey  answered…5yrs5Y

I don't think that having references to God necessarily pushes a certain religion onto people.

 @8GBYVGB from New Jersey  answered…4yrs4Y

No, references to God on money, federal buildings, and national monuments is symbolic ceremonial deism and not a reference to a specific religion.

Yes, all religion is vile and the government needs to show it doesn't tolerate bigotry.

 @8KCFMMQ from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

 @NotShaggy3 from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

No, as an atheist I don't really care it doesn't change anything for me

 @8NY47RM from North Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

No, separation of church and state is meant to keep government from making laws prohibiting the free practice of any religious beliefs, not removing God from the government.

 @8P9GPTN from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

  @8QYZ4SB from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

No, and Catholicism should be made the official religion of these united States of America.

 @8RM3NHC from Mississippi  answered…4yrs4Y

yes, the government should be unbiased to religions and treat them all with equal respect

 @8RM5NS8 from Maine  answered…4yrs4Y

Support separation of church and state but recognise the impact God has on the history of America

 @8RMPN5H from North Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8RPPT2H from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

I think that where it is now, in our government it should stay but there should be a separation of church and state period.

 @Maxx48503800 from California  answered…4yrs4Y

No, we should change it to Jefferson's language in The Declaration of Independence "our Creator" going forward and leave existing references

 @8SGS6MP from Kentucky  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, only if it doesn't waste money and doesn't offend religions that worship god.

 @8TND2WR from Michigan  answered…4yrs4Y

No, it does not bother me, but if does offend other religions then maybe it's something to think about.

 @8TRBV6Q from Virginia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, we are a democracy and the majority of our populace follows a monotheistic religion.

 @8VC7WDN from North Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

No, this is a misconstrued notion of Seperation of Church and State that has been weaponized against the Church. Christianity is a very important aspect to the American founding.

No, this is a misconstrued notion of Separation of Church and State that has been weaponized against the Church. Christianity is a very important aspect to the American founding through a partial Theocratic Republic

Government shouldn't be involved with religion since it would diminish the importance of other beliefs.

  @8XD6BY6 from Nevada  answered…3yrs3Y

No, but don’t add anymore references to God on things like money, federal buildings, and national monuments because individuals should be able to make their own decisions and have their own beliefs in terms of religion (and everything)

 @8XNT9ZQ from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

No, our values and constitution stem from religious ideals. Separation of church and state refers to the government enforcing worship of a specific religion (i.e. Iran).

 @8ZGMFJG from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

I believe were almost forced into believing a religion; coming from a person who isn't religious.

 @92S34SB from California  answered…3yrs3Y

No, I support the separation of church and state meaning that religion should not be involved in laws, however removing religious references on money and buildings along with monuments will just waste money and won't do anything. Even anti-religious people agree with this.

  @ForWheelen from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

Separation of Church and State is NOT in the constitution. Jefferson used the phrase in 1802 in a letter to a Baptist Church and should not be taken as the last word on it as Justice Black di in a 1947 landmark Supreme Court case. No they should not support removing references

 @92T58MH from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

no as long as religion does not impact decisions of government and does not specifically include or exclude a religion
