Church and State in America
For years Americans have been engulfed in what may be the greatest nationwide debate in the history of America. The separation of Church and State. For starters a few definitions should be made clear. Webster defines religion as " a cause, principle or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith." That is the definition that I will be referring to when I say religion. When I say Religion with a capitol R I am referring to "the service and worship of God, or the supernatural" So many people argue that prayer in schools should not be allowed, or that Religion should not be taught.

The taxes of all people of all states goes to paying teachers salaries, and for paying for supplies and aides that help to teach this "Scientific" point of view. That is not acceptable. I am not saying that evolution should not be taught. I believe that both Evolution and Creation should be taught. I am not saying that prayer should b
