Separation of Church and State Restricts the FEDERAL Government Not State Governments

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE ARE NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION

The ‘Separation’ protects individuals’ rights, not the governments. “The framers were not only decreeing that Congress could not establish a religion, but also reassuring the states that they could establish religions and Congress couldn’t stop them…[It’s about] the federal government’s involvement in religion. Even Jefferson’s “wall of separation between church and state” LETTER referred only to the federal government and assumed states could have established religions.” —Ann Coulter
