HEY MAGA FRIENDS, WHY THE FOUNDING FATHERS DEMANDED SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

WHY THE FOUNDING FATHERS DEMANDED SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE The separation of church and state was not created to attack religion. It was created to protect liberty. The Founding Fathers understood—through history and lived experience—that when religious authority merges with government power, freedom collapses. The Founders were deeply familiar with European history. For centuries, governments enforced religion through law, producing religious wars, torture, forced conversions, inquisitions, and mass persecution. Monarchs ruled by so-called “divine right,” and churches provided moral cover for violence. Dissenters were imprisoned, exiled, or killed—not because they were criminals, but because they refused to submit. When religion is enforced by the state, belief becomes compulsory. Faith turns into obedience. Heresy becomes a crime. Truth no longer matters—authority does. The Founding Fathers understood that coerced belief destroys both religion and liberty. A government that claims divine approval becomes immune to accountability. This is why the First Amendment exists. It prevents the government from establishing a state religion and from interfering with individual belief. It protects freedom of religion and freedom from government-imposed religion. The state has no authority over conscience. Religious institutions claim moral authority over the soul. When that authority is backed by law, police, prisons, or armies, it becomes absolute and dangerous. The Founders feared this combination more than almost any other form of power because it cannot be questioned without being labeled immoral, sinful, or treasonous. The Founders believed faith must remain voluntary. True belief cannot exist under threat of punishment, exclusion, or social exile. Liberty requires that people be free to believe—or not believe—without coercion. History repeatedly proved the same lesson: from the Roman Empire to medieval Europe to colonial rule, church-state unions produced censorship, persecution, and bloodshed. Separation was not an accident. It was a safeguard. The separation of church and state exists to protect the people from religious tyranny—and to protect religion from political corruption. When either gains control over the other, freedom is the first casualty.
