The First Amendment helps guard against government misusing religion to coerce individuals and shackle liberties. Two hundred years ago, the founding fathers intended a separation of Church and State; James Madison wrote, “religion and Government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together.”

If Madison were around today he would be saying, "Science and government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together." We need an amendment to separate Science and State. We need it yesterday.

The individual IQ---where science ends and religion(faith) begins--

In a large part today because the 'left' IS teaching their religion(faith) as science in partnership with the government. The government as 'preacher'.
