Throughout history, religions have been manipulated by political agendas, and political offices have been compromised by particular beliefs. Indeed, the Christian church is most incorrupt when it is a separate entity from the government. In the beginning of the nation, America’s founding fathers declared that they wished to separate from the overbearing rule of the English.
