In colonial times, the Christian religion was an integral part of the culture of the people who settled in America. Christian principles were voluntarily accepted by the dictates of individual consciences. It was in this cultural context that the people saw the danger of establishing any particular denomination as a state religion. But increasingly today, the culture is voluntarily rejecting the principles of Christianity because of the inconsistencies, confusion, division and hypocrisy in the church.

To quell this avalanche of moral breakdown, the "Reclaim America" element of the Christian right is subtly advocating establishing, not a particular denomination, but the Christian religion. This, in effect would be a return to the same type of establishment initially enacted by Constantine, which Williams, Jefferson and Madison agreed was the beginning of the fall of the Christian church from its purity.[13] How this movement to re-establish a Constantinian Christianity fits into the prophesy of the end times is a primary subject of this paper. It makes the understanding of government proposed by Williams, Jefferson and Madison even more profound and even more urgent as we have entered the new millennium.

Mans wisdom is foolishness.
This is from a Jewish web site that doesn't follow the Christ. How can your copy and paste be an unbiased opinion and expect me to accept it as truth?
You think a non Christian supporting Jewish site is relevant to American history?

Brian... it's time the vocal minority stopped telling the majority what to do by abusing the court system and twisting the intent of the separation of church and state. This country was FOUNDED on there being a GOD and with everyone being able to believe in WHATEVER type of GOD they wanted.... separation of Church and State was so the government could not tell people WHAT GOD to worship.... not to say there wasn't a GOD.
