The article and the posts are good examples of why the Founders kept government from any actions either of religious support or religious condemnation.

History is replete with examples of why they limited government as they did.

Actually the founding documents were written by primarily men that were reformed believers they understood the total depravity of men, and so made a government with checks and balances

Calvins principles of government gave us a nation with freedom of religion and capitalism ...only now as the nation turns from those principles does it face destruction from within
