Safeguarding Our Religious Liberties

Promoting Individual Freedom and Personal Safety > Individual Freedom > Safeguarding Our Religious Liberties
We affirm that the public acknowledgment of God is undeniable in our history and is vital to our freedom, prosperity and strength. We pledge our influence toward a return to the original intent of the First Amendment and toward dispelling the myth of separation of church and state.
(plank deleted)

Suggesting a governmental acknowledgement of God is necessary is pointless or dangerous. It either diminishes God to a petty character or it suggests an official government's role in promoting religion.

The idea of the separation of church and state being a myth is a dangerous and radically liberal concept.
