27. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE is the cornerstone of RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What they call "weaponization" of the government against Christianity is upholding religious freedom by ensuring that no religion can impose its beliefs on others.

If they think their faith is endangered by prohibitions against utilizing public schools and property to promote their particular religion, then apparently their personal faith is not nearly as strong as they would have us believe.

These are the same people who don't want Mosques in their communities.

Their idea of religious "liberty" in government includes Christianity, to the exclusion of others. That's what "Christian Nationalism" is all about.

If public schools included a daily session of official prayer, would they object to a variety that included readings and practices in the Islamic faith and others, representing the religions of all peoples who are US citizens?
