I have posted my own blog to try to dispel some of the misunderstanding that exists about “separation of church and state.” I do have a few opinion posts, but most of my posts are just historic facts and quotes by our Founders and other early leaders. Separation of church and state is a metaphor that is so mis-used it has reversed the Founders’ original thinking. But my main point is that “we” are using the First Amendment to justify suppressing actions and words it was not meant to affect. The Overview and Background section of my blog expresses this pretty well.

Let’s get back to talking about what is or is not appropriate rather than misusing the First Amendment to bring lawsuits to prevent actions we don’t agree with.
