Is "separation of church and state" in the constitution ?

Question

if not,,,,where did the supposition that it is ?

Answer 1

The exact words? No. The concept? Clearly.

Answer 2

No it is not. It comes from the Federalist papers that many of the founding fathers wrote in. President Jefferson was one of the main people who wrote in it. Now a days it comes form the American Communist League Union.  

Answer 3

The phrase separation of church and state is generally traced to a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to the Danbury Baptists, in which he referred to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as creating a "wall of separation" between church and state. The phrase was then quoted by the United States Supreme Court first in 1878, and then in a series of cases starting in 1947. This led to increased popular and political discussion of the concept.

Answer 4

the problem is the idiots don't realize it says freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.

Answer 5

No, not literally. But then nothing in the Bill of Rights literally says that a person accused of crime is entitled to a presumption of innocence nor that the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

There is more to interpreting law than merely looking at words, taking them literally, and never doing anything more than that. Interpreting law also includes such things as looking into the legislative history behind the law.
