The Seperation of church and state was an idea enforced my Jefferson and Madison, latter much more strongly. Indeed, until Madison's presidency, previous executives had declared National Days of Prayer.

That's the problem with separation of church and state. We are a country built on religious ideals by religious people and now we are trying to weed the religion out without disrupting the rest. In my personal opinion, it's not possible.

Agreed. In New York, there's a law that is in effect that says you can't buy alcohol before noon on a Sunday. A Catholic imposed law, it's one of the most hurtful laws to our local economies. Just think, it cuts liquor sales by about two percent.

It's predicted in the bible that governments will banish all religion. As soon as they touch the one and only true religion, God will stop them --> Armageddon --> Paradise.
