John F. Kennedy on the Separation of Church and State (1960)

3. I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.

That is what I heard in school from day one on through grad school. What's different now is that some religions aren't happy with that. They want to take our freedom from us using "faith" as a weapon... as if it isn't one already.

They should not have a special tax status that gives them advantages others don't have in the political arena. Their status is contingent upon their neutrality in politics but they have violated that and now must be stripped of that privilege since they can't seem to respect it's intent.
