1787 U.S. ConstitutionPreamble
We the People of the United States, in Order to
form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,
insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general Welfare, and
secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and
our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.

govern any other.

Secularism

• It is a religion.
• A view of life in which God is given no
  consideration.
• A view of civil society or education stripped of
  any references of God.

11
It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too
often that this great nation was founded, not by
religionists, but by Christians not on
religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For
this very reason peoples of other faiths have
been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of
worship here.
Patrick Henry
12
Fifty-two of the fifty-five founders of the
Constitution were members of the established
orthodox churches in the colonies. It was
common for leaders of that time to be a member of
a church. According to research conducted by
U.S.Constitution.net, Here is the breakdown of
the religion of the framers of the U.S.

We have explored the temple of royalty and found
that the idol we have bowed down to has eyes
which see not and ears that hear not our prayers,
and a heart like the nether millstone. We have
this day restored the Sovereign to whom alone men
ought to be obedient.
Samuel Adams, August 1, 1776 Father of the
American Revolution The constitution was signed
Aug 2, 1776
14
If we abide by the principles taught in the
Bible, our country will go on prospering.
Daniel Webster

It is impossible to rightly govern the world
without God and the Bible.
George Washington
16
I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I
live, the more convincing proofs I see of this
truth God governs in the affairs of men, and
if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without
His notice, is it possible that an empire can
rise without His aid?
Benjamin Franklin During the constitutional
crisis, June 28, 1787

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the
government to restrain the people, it is an
instrument for the people to restrain the
government - lest it come to dominate our lives
and interests."
It is when people forget God that tyrants forge
their chains."

Supreme Court, 1961 Torcaso v. Watkins Footnote
31
Supreme Court Chief JusticeWilliam Rehnquist
The wall of separation between church and state
is a metaphor built on bad history and worse law.
It has made a positive chaos out of rulings and
it should be frankly and explicitly abandoned. It
is an utter distortion of the first amendment and
not a condensation of it.
32
The reason that Christianity is the best friend
of government is because Christianity is the only
religion that changes the heart.
Thomas Jefferson

Churches were only added to the 501c3 section of
the tax code byLyndon Johnsonin 1954.Johnson
offered this to the churches as a "favor" but it
came with strings attached. What he had in mind
was to silence the Church as part of his
political agenda.

• Form 1023 not necessary.
• The following types of organizations may be
  considered tax exempt under section even if they
  do not file Form 1023.
• Churches, including synagogues, temples, and
  mosques.
• Integrated auxiliaries of churches and
  conventions or associations of churches.

Church Inc.
All 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely
prohibited from directly or indirectly
participating or intervening in any political
campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any
candidate for elective public office.
Non-partisan voter education activities
(including public forums and voter education
guides) are permitted. Similarly, non-partisan
activities to encourage people to participate in
the electoral process, such as voter registration
and get-out-the-vote drives, are not prohibited
political campaign activity. However, voter
education or registration activities that (a)
favor one candidate over another, (b) oppose a
candidate in some manner, or (c) favor a group of
candidates, are prohibited.

Church Inc.
"The Court asserts that an exempt organization
must demonstrably serve and be in harmony with
the public interest, must have a purpose that
comports with the common community conscience,
and must not act in a manner affirmatively at
odds with the declared position of the whole
Government. Taken together, these passages
suggest that the primary function of a tax-exempt
organization is to act on behalf of the
Government in carrying out governmentally
approved policies."
Bob Jones University v. United States US Supreme
Court, (461 U.S. 574), 1981

First Religious humanists regard the universe as
self-existing and not created.
Second Humanism believes that man is a part of
nature and that he has emerged as the result of a
continuous process.
Third Holding an organic view of life, humanists
find that the traditional dualism of mind and
body must be rejected.
Humanist Manifesto, 1933
63
Fourth Humanism recognizes that man's religious
culture and civilization, as clearly depicted by
anthropology and history, are the product of a
gradual development due to his interaction with
his natural environment and with his social
heritage. The individual born into a particular
culture is largely moulded by that culture.
Multiculturalism!
Fifth Humanism asserts that the nature of the
universe depicted by modern science makes
unacceptable any supernatural or cosmic
guarantees of human values.
Humanist Manifesto, 1933
