The phrase “Separation of Church and State” came from a letter from Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists where the Baptists were concerned the state would interfere with their worship of God. Jefferson re-assured them that there was a separation of church and state and that government would never interfere.

Fast forward 238 years and the meaning now means the opposite of what it did back then.

Indeed, church can speak of policies but government is forbidden from speaking in church.

Now with atheists screaming every time a manger or the ten commandements are posted in court, theocracy is coming... How “funny” and stupid are those liberal atheists.
