ERROR: "'Separation of Church and State' Is Constitutional Text"

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The claim that the phrase "separation of church and state" appears in the Constitution is false: the words come from a Jefferson letter.

Show

The constitutional text is the two religion clauses of the First Amendment.

Watch for

The metaphor summarizes one reading of the clauses; the clauses, not the metaphor, are law.
