Religion Has No Place in Government

RECEIVED Mon., Nov. 3, 2003

By refusing to hear the case brought by the former Alabama Supreme Court Justice (former because he was fired by the other judges on the bench for violating a federal court order), the U.S. Supreme Court today affirmed the secular foundation of our Constitution. As it has been established for years, the principle of separation of church and state remains intact, but is threatened by the age and inclinations toward retirement of the current lot of justices. The U.S. Senate can protect us for now, but removing our current faux president must remain a priority. Anyone who takes a look around the world with open eyes can see that religion, whether fact or fantasy, causes almost all human strife. Religion has no place in government, unless of course your motivation is to corrupt it and give sanction to human strife.
