**Divided We Stand: A Call to Defend Religious Freedom Against Secularism**
In a nation founded on the principles of religious liberty, a troubling and ongoing campaign seeks to evict faith from the public discourse.
Over the years, the Left has twisted the interpretation of "separation of church and state," aiming to erase America’s religious heritage from the very fabric of its governance.
It's a distortion that ought to concern every American.
Originally, the Founding Fathers envisioned religion as a guiding force in shaping moral values that inform politics—recognizing that faith enriches public life rather than diminishes it.
Yet, today, secularism has seeped into many institutions, pushing aside the principles that were established to protect the free exercise of religion.
The First Amendment was designed to prohibit Congress from establishing a single state religion, ensuring that citizens could worship freely.
However, far from barring faith-based perspectives from influencing policy, the Founding Fathers intended for religion and morality to coexist with governance.
George Washington famously warned of the grave dangers of removing religious values from the political arena, highlighting their indispensable role in securing a prosperous society.
Thomas Jefferson himself emphasized that protecting religious freedoms meant allowing public expression of faith, not silencing it.
Yet, landmark Supreme Court cases like *Stone v. Graham* have led us down a path of increasing secularization, where even the mention of foundational texts in schools and public spaces has been deemed unconstitutional.
This judicial interpretation has stripped away public acknowledgment of the moral underpinnings that have sustained American democracy for centuries.
These legal precedents depict a worrisome trend toward viewing religion as a threat rather than a crucial part of the American identity.
The citizens' right to practice their faith in public life must be affirmed, and the separation of church and state should not be misused as a weapon against religious expression.
Revitalizing America’s spiritual climate requires courage and commitment from our leaders to fight back against this erosion of religious freedoms.
It speaks to a fundamental truth that must resound: moral and ethical teachings drawn from faith are essential to nurturing a strong, just, and free society.
If we wish to revitalize the spiritual well-being of our great nation, we must stand firm against those trying to marginalize faith.
Indeed, it is time to ensure that religion remains a vital and vibrant part of America’s public square, consistent with the vision laid out by our Founding Fathers.
