We hear so much that the church should not be engaged in politics, that there is a wall of separation between church and state and that churches may lose their tax-exempt status if they endorse a political candidate due to the gagging of the church imposed in 1954 and how the church passively accepted to be silenced during political seasons. What most people, especially Christians, need to know is that without the involvement of the churches in politics during colonial times the United States of America would never have existed.
