Separation of church and state is a very controversial issue here in the United States. Since I was raised in a conservative Baptist home, I grew up believing there should be no separation of church and state. After all, our country was built on a Christian foundation. But after exposure to other cultures and other religions, my views have changed.
Imagine having another person’s religion forced on you. How does that feel? I for one believe in tolerance of others and in a peaceful co-existence. America is a melting pot with many different cultures and ethnicities thrown into our lot. As diverse and widely known for the rights to freedom, we ought to respect each other.
Separation of church and state is probably the best thing to do. I wouldn’t want someone else to force their beliefs on me; so it’s only fair I don’t do it either.
I agree with you that there should be seperation between church and state. I'm not a religious person and I would hate to have beliefs forced upon me.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the great things about our country ---- FREEDOM!!! By eliminating one freedom... well that slams open the door for other freedoms to be taken away.
