A Matter Which Lies Solely Between Man & His God

Trump dozes off as Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says there's no such thing as separation of church and state in the U.S. Constitution https://t.co/22uBKTUcFy

Indeed, as RMJ notes, "Patrick’s argument the phrase is not in the Constitution is correct."  I might also add that there is no such thing as "Christian-based nation."  However, in Article VI of the US Constitution: no religious Test shall ever be required.

The dude who drafted the Declaration of Independence wrote some stuff down, too:

The bill for establishing religious freedom, the principles of which had, to a certain degree, been enacted before, I had drawn in all the latitude of reason & right. it still met with opposition; but, with some mutilations in the preamble, it was finally past; and a singular proposition proved that it’s protection of opinion was meant to be universal. where the preamble declares that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting the words ‘Jesus Christ’ so that it should read ‘a departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion’ the insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of it’s protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan, the Hindoo and infidel of every denomination.

So did the dude who introduced the independence resolution:

The declaration of Rights, it seems to me, rather contends against forcing modes of faith and forms of worship, than against compelling contribution for the support of religion in general. I fully agree with the presbyterians, that true freedom embraces the Mahomitan and the Gentoo as well as the Xn religion and upon this liberal ground I hope our Assembly will conduct themselves.

And since Hamilton was wrong that it was a bad idea to make a list of our rights, Madison got this written down: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...

Finally, there is no mention of G-d in the Constitution, but guess where you will find one?

Selah.
