Before the War Between the States, Christianity was encouraged by the civil government to function according to biblical principles. Then in 1861, the radical Unitarians were able to convince the courts that the civil arena should remain indifferent to the church. In 1961 the civil government turned their backs on the original American system of checks and balances with a judicial declaration that it was up to the states to level all religious faiths. By 1963 the courts were promoting and protecting a new religion “humanism.” We certainly know what has happened since then.
