US Without Separation of Church and State

The original foundation of what became the United States by there forefathers with there Constitution was not the avocation of the separation of church and state. But the binding of the two for the freedom of not just religion; but with the idea that religious persecution would never occur in development as far back as the thirteen colonies.

The original white colonist that came into the America's, expressed in numerous writings of fleeing from religious persecution and did not want the same to occur, in what they had called "the new land."

This did not develop until 1 January 1802 from a letter delivered by Thomas Jefferson to a Christian congregation; which overtime became further distorted into the practice that the US uses today as "Secularism" or anti-religion.

One also need's to take into consideration that Jefferson was also Pro-African Slavery until his death and did have several children by a slave.

The development of religious persecution is contrary to the original dictates of the US colonial forefathers, even with the writing and signing of the US Constitution; which this advocation was not included.-HRM Deborah
