What does separation of church and state mean… and more
The Colson Center has developed a great page to help Christians respond to questions often asked in order to dismiss our views. Topics range from politics to economics to gender. Please go to their website -What Would You Say? to see all they have to offer.
Below is how to share when asked the question about separating church and state.
What Does “Separation of Church and State” Mean?
What Would You Say?
You’re in a conversation about church and politics and someone says “The Separation of Church and State means churches shouldn’t talk about political issues.”
What Would You Say?
The next time you hear someone say that the Separation of Church and State protects government from religious people and religious ideas, remember these three things:
1. The “Separation of Church and State” isn’t in the Constitution.
2. The Constitution protects the church from the state, not the State from the Church.
3. In public debates all ideas and all people are welcome. Even religious ones.
