The "official" religion

Our country was founded on the idea of absolute freedom, attracting many of the first settlers to come over to America escaping religious persecution. The founding fathers brilliantly constructed the Constitution including the Bill of Rights; the first amendment which gives every American citizen the natural-born right to exercise any religion they desire. It’s one of the founding ideals that made this country so great, especially at that time. Although, in Amendment I, in the very first line of the Bill of Rights it specifically says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” Well, it should be obvious that the government has in fact established a religion. Although the American people still have the right to practice any religious beliefs, it’s definitely true that the American government endorses the Christian religion and its values. Now, this is not an argument against Christianity at all; I am a Christian myself, and quite religious as well. But with that said my religion is very sacred to me, and I believe the government should have absolutely no correlation or influence upon it. The point of contention here is that the government is in violation of the Constitution, the supreme law of the land being broken by the institution which created it. Any person should be able to clearly see the endorsement of Christianity by the government. For example, “Our nation under God” in the pledge of allegiance, the presence of the Ten Commandments on government grounds, “In God we trust” printed on the back of money, and the placement of one’s hand over the Bible while taking an oath in the court of law. Christianity being endorsed by the government isn’t necessarily a horrible thing, but we do need consistency between the laws that govern this land and the actions that are actually carried out. Either the government needs to stop promoting Christianity as the “official” religion, or we need to change the Constitution accordingly.
