For decades, activists on the left have weaponized the phrase “separation of church and state” to scrub every trace of religious expression from the public square. Prayer banned in schools, Ten Commandments monuments torn down, coaches fired for kneeling in silent prayer, bakers and florists coerced into celebrating ceremonies that violate their faith: all justified, we are told, by an ironclad “wall of separation” between church and state. The only problem? That is not what the Founders meant, not even close. . .
