Religion in government: a plea for our morals and their influence in ou

Hello, I am a God-fearing, love-filled, concerned citizen who is very worried over the slow degradation of ethics held in todays society. In part this horrible ensure has come about through the lack of laws restricting the spread of disgraceful subject subject in television programs and advertisement, the legalization and representation of miscarriage as a legitimate choice over the welfargon of a child and its mother instead of an irreprehensible act of murder, and many other very obvious congressmans of the our governments lack of law to protect the morals of our American families. tout ensemble of these examples, though rightfully a big reason for any Christian to be concerned there is an argument behind these problems, a lay down to the growing moral irresponsibility in our governments procedure. This separation between our legislation and our religious beliefs is based on an argument that the first constitutional amendment which states sexual congress shall make no law s regarding the establishment of or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Was think to prevent the establishment of laws supportive to religious practices and morals no matter how widely held by the citizenry. And that this is indicative to our country not being founded on Christianity. These arguments, in my humble opinion, are asinine considering the religious backgrounds and beliefs of the framers of this colossal document. These great men were community leaders, ministers, and above all, Christians. James Madison, regarded by many as the father of the constitution and primary drafter of the first amendment stated in his story and Remonstrance stated, Religionis the basis and foundation of government.This is not the only example of a founding father in support ... ...ording to Gallup, a comfortably known polling company, just over three quarters of the U.S. population are Christians. To me this means that the majority of citizens are indeed Christian If our government is to chromosome mapping the way it was created to then should our laws not reflect the morals we all helping as God fearing Christians?Works Cited*** Charity Wire (N.p., n.d.
