Separation of Church and State?

I am one of those who believes that there is too much separation of church and state in America. I am one of those who believes that our Supreme Court is not so supreme when it comes to these matters because I feel that they fail to interpret our Constitution correctly.

It is the opinion of many scholars that our forefathers did not want government to sponsor a religion or compel people to join a religion not of their own choosing. Does anyone actually believe that they wanted to ban prayer from schools or public buildings or public gatherings? I don't think so. Had they felt this way, there would probably been a specific mention of it -- or better yet, they would have refrained from any reference to God or religion in all of their writings. Fortunately for us, they wrote often about the positive effects of religion in our lives and seemed to be most concerned in government insuring freedom of religion, not restriction of its use.

I've said all of that to say this: What the heck is this debate this evening between two presidential candidates about religion and faith? What is CNN, the anti-religion and anti-faith network doing promoting it?

If religion isn't supposed to be part of anything pubic or governmental, why is it being made an issue in the presidential election?

Just think for a change ... ask yourself what the motivation is for something that is supposed to be so taboo by the media. Presidential candidates discussing their personal faith. Either it matters or it doesn't matter.
