“Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) pushed back Tuesday on the belief that there should be separation between church and state on the U.S., arguing that the founding fathers wanted faith to be a “big part” of government. Separation of church and state … is a misnomer. People misunderstand it,” Johnson said”

“Johnson argued that “faith, our deep religious heritage and tradition is a big part of what it means to be an American” in his comments Tuesday. He further argued that “morality” must be kept among Americans “so that we have accountability.”

“He is not the only member of Congress who has who has suggested that faith should influence the government. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) faced backlash last year after she said she believes “the church is supposed to direct the government.”

“I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk — that’s not in the Constitution,” Boebert said at the Cornerstone Christian Center in Basalt, Colo. “It was in a stinking letter and it means nothing like they say it does.”

Not surprising Johnson taught at Liberty college

Interesting since the Founders were largely Deists

And this assclown is supposed to be a "constitutional attorney." Where did he get his degree, Oral Roberts U.? Oh, Liberty U. Same thing.
 
PS -- I have a feeling that Padre Johnson would have an entirely different view if enough citizens wanted to make that influencing religion something other than Christianity.

Prager University, which is not a real University and is behind many of the book ban pushes and getting extreme conservatives to take over local school boards and who make a series of 'revisionist history kids videos like this'...


And understand that several Derp southern States are now taking curriculum advice from Prager U, like Florida.

That video is NOT a joke. They have a whole series of videos for kids with that type of revisionist garbage.

Exactly, the script works as long as your view of God is in control, something the Founders knew coming from a Europe with a history of religious conflicts

It’s a cartoon, but points of the hypocrisy of Evangelicals as Johnson, Trump boasts of “grabbing pussy,” cheats on pregnant wife with a porn star, castigate anyone who even criticizes him, lies at Olympic record rates, commits fraud on others, befriends recognized racists, etc., and they still support him as the leader of their party

No, it’s because the politician will then do something incredibly stupid as it is un-American. Get over yourself. You’re as bad as the socialist as you will never accept the fact that our government was founded on enlightenment ideals or that the vast majority of Americans prefer our chosen purgatory to your obligatory paradise.
