What's wrong with that statement? Don't tell me you've bought into the lie of "separation of church and state"? I keep hearing people saying that but most don't know where it came from. It was first used in court in the US in the 1960s. It's no where in the United States Constitution. But....it was in the constitution of the former Soviet Union. In Article 13 of the general provisions of the constitution of the USSR, adopted in July 1918, it states, “In order to ensure genuine freedom of conscience for the working people, the church is separated from the State, and the school from the church: and freedom of religious and anti-religious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.”
