minus-square@shalafilinkEnglish17•7 months agoConstitution only says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Jefferson coined the term in a letter regarding the 1A. Maybe I’m splitting hairs, but in any case “separation of church and state” is how we have always interpreted it.
