That goes with my main point, that a government can't be ruled by a religion. The real faith works in each individual and then individuals of faith participate in the government. It can't be legislated and maintain, it will be abused
Indeed, freedom of religious thought and practice, insofar as such practice does not violate universal natural law. Legislation of morality, or more correctly enforcing moral law, is quite literally why all government (civil and even ecclesiastical) exists. As Madison aptly acknowledged, if men were angels, we'd have no need for government at all... but alas, such is fallen human nature. True religion is to support good civil government.... SUPPORT. Not a strict separation, not a top down theocracy, but rather a partnership. That was the general belief of the Founders as a collective entity, what they envisioned this country would be, and did everything within their power to make it so. Unfortunately over the past 100 years, much has been done to undo their noble work, and directly coincides with the utter moral decline of our society. It is a refreshing and uplifting thing to see SCOTUS and good legislators and executives (at least at many state levels) balancing church-state relations back to their intended separate yet closely cooperating realms. All is not lost
