John Sutter : Mike Johnson blundering on the "separation of church and state" He says the phrase was not intended as a blank check to bar Christianity from the public square.
Sutter says the act of thanksgiving is a distinctly Christian behavior, and the American people have yet to complete their flight from this heritage.
There is no Thanksgiving without Christ. There is no liberty without the Author of liberty. It is a worn truth worth repeating: Our American nation was founded by and for a religious people, even precisely a Christian people. Such will be true even when we have long forgotten what these relics once meant..
