Although Thomas Jefferson said the constitution was meant to place a "wall of separation between Church and state," they are clearly not separate. The motto, "In God We Trust" is on our coins. "Under God" is in our pledge. Pandering politicians work to put prayer back in schools. Courts are kept busy ordering the removal of religious icons from public property, etc. The stifling effect of dogma on freedom can be plainly seen in the world's "theocracies" – where church and state are one and the same. The numbers of such countries with harsh blasphemy laws has been increasing. We will explore both the successes and failures of keeping church and state separate. Instructor: Dr. Charles Kupchella
