Church v. State

Separation of Church and State

Although our country was founded on the ideal that Church and State should be separated, it's hard to imagine the United States not guided by religion. Even voters take into consideration the candidates religion. Candidates who are not affiliated with God are less likely to win votes than a candidate who is religious. Furthermore, religion is still taken into consideration when making executive decisions. For example, Bush and his position on stem-cell research. Or, a decision banning Gay marriage. So while we claim that there is a separation of church and state, is that really true? Is it even possible??
