Senator Josh Hawley is apparently unfamiliar with the whole “separation of church and state” business. Read the latest from besslevin:
Let’s not brush past the underlying point the Missouri Republican was trying to make by way of a made-up line: Hawley seems certain that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, with members of one faith tradition—his own—enjoying exalted status over others. Indeed, the GOP senator’s misguided tweet was part of a larger rhetorical push. It was just two weeks ago when Hawley spoke at a far-right event andthat the Christian faith had “formed the soul of this country.
It was against this backdrop that Hawley—on Independence Day—pushed the line that the United States was “founded…on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It really wasn’t. The Constitution is a secular document that created a secular government. Thomas Jefferson—in an actual quote—wrote in 1802 that our First Amendment built “a wall of separation between church and state.” In 1797, John Adams agreed: “The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.
