Reformation Persuasive Paragraph
The Founding Fathers were correct in believing that religion and government should be separate. First of all, there are many religions in America; forcing everyone to have the same religion would not be realistic. Secondly, America was founded as a free society where people can worship however they choose to do so. For this reason, it would be impossible to mix church and state together and serve the will of the people. We believe in the freedom to worship, as well as democracy; therefore,we cannot enforce the laws of one religion. Some may say that one official religion would unify our country. However, enforcing one official religion would only cause conflict. In conclusion, religion and government should always be separate. Religious laws and leaders and secular laws and leaders should not be the same because people who have different beliefs from religious leaders would not agree with their ideas or laws. The American government and laws are based on democracy. We elect our government officials, and our laws are usually based on the will of the majority of the people.
