Is the Supreme Court Against Christians, or is it a Matter of Separation of Church and State?

There are many people that believe that the U.S. has a Supreme Court against Christians, just as other groups believe that the highest court of the nation actually favors Christians.

No matter which way the court leans when it comes to religious philosophy, it is wrong.

It is part of the Constitution of the United States that there remain a separation of church and state; for this reason there cannot be a religious motivation in the formation of government policy.

This is not to say that government or the judicial system should push out religion, but when a governing body uses their own religious beliefs in their policies, they are pushing those beliefs on everyone, which goes against one of the founding principals of the United States.

Defining the truth of the Supreme Court against Christians is a matter of which direction you are viewing the matter from.

As the majority of Americans are Christian, they believe that any ruling against infiltrating their beliefs into public policy is a move against them as a group, but on the other hand, if Christians are permitted to push their beliefs on others, the majority then compromises the rights of the individual.

From a Christian standpoint, obviously some of the Supreme Court’s ruling regarding religion would seem like the government has moved to trying to create the United States as a godless country, but one only has to look back at Mary Tudor of England to see that it is wise to keep religious beliefs out of state policy.

Does Rejected Appeal Show the Supreme Court Against Christians

There have been many controversial rulings by the Supreme Court regarding religion, and the separation of church and state on such things as teaching creationist views in schools, and prayer.

One such case was when the Supreme Court rejected to hear a case from a high school football coach.

The East Brunswick football coach wanted to be allowed to have his team join him in prayer before a game, but the practice was forbidden by the school district due to the clause in the Constitution that mandates a separation of church and state.

The case was taken before the Supreme Court, after the federal appeals court in Philadelphia sided with the district.

The actual prayer of the team and coach is surely harmless, but once public institutions cross that line, how much further will it go?

When Religion Rules State Policy

For those who truly believe that America has a Supreme Court against Christians, it may be wise to understand what the country may be like if the majority of Americans were Muslim, or Mormons.

It is not too difficult to imagine what life may be like if one of these religions was the majority and they pushed their beliefs on the public through law.

You may suddenly find that polygamy was legal and the norm, and that the church is given the legal right to withhold 10% of your income for the church coffers.

No doubt the Supreme Court may have gone to the limit in some cases, but it is in the best interest of the U.S. that religion is never permitted to interfere with law.
