I did additional research tonight in regards to Separation of Church and State. A common myth that was quickly dispelled upon research of the topic was that our founding fathers intended the United States to be a Christian nation and that the United States was founded upon Christian ideals with Christian values in mind. I've recently come across a fair amount of evidence that contradicts several of these points. Be you Christian or otherwise, it is certainly something to take a look at and think about.
The first person to coin the phrase "Separation of Church and State" in its current context was Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, and an avid supporter of keeping the government secular. I'll post some of my sources when I get around to it. For now, sleep.
