Keep Church and State Separate, Some of the Time

Published August 20, 2015 10:30am ET



Liberals and progressives go to great lengths to keep church and state separate. Just try to have religious schools share in a voucher or other government program that provides relief to students trapped by the teachers’ unions into failing schools. No can do. It violates the separation of church and state.

Just have some poor baker refuse to bake a cake for a gay married couple, and he will be told that he can’t impose his religious beliefs on that couple, the law of the land overriding any individual right to obey religious beliefs. Note: this is not a monopoly electric utility denying an essential service to that couple: it is a baker, one of dozens easily available in Colorado and eager for the business of the gay couple which were married, by the way, in Massachusetts, a state unlikely to have as many religious bakers as does Colorado.
