“The so-called wall of separation between church and state in the United States may be excellent policy — the more time I spend in churches and talking with politicians, the more I think it is! — but it has a problem: Nobody voted for it. The First Amendment prohibits the ‘establishment’ of religion, which means the creation of a national church — a state church is what an established church is. And while many of the men who negotiated, argued about, wrote, and ratified the Constitution had wall-of-separation (the phrase itself is, of course, Thomas Jefferson’s) views and many didn’t, none of them thought that they were proposing or voting for a document that might make it illegal to put up Christmas decorations at a public building in Jackson County, Indiana, a couple of centuries hence.” (02/28/25)
