“Another Left-wing Socialist group “

I am for church-state separation and the First Amendment. I am neither left-wing nor a socialist.

I doubt you’ll find any supporters of a state-established religion here.

But, that is not what “the separation of church and state” means in the modern context.

It means that God, and anyone who serves Him, must be driven from the public square, and that any mention of His Name or His precepts must be mercilessly squelched.

Which, of course, is the opposite of what was intended by the First Amendment. Right?
