The importance of separation of government and #religion in American life which insures a #secular government, #religiousfreedom for all including #atheist.

This event led Dr. Balmer on a quest to study the origins of the religious right, his findings included abolishing the #abortion myth. In 1968 - flagship magazine #ChristianityToday met with the Christian Medical Society to discuss abortion and issued a statement that abortions should be allowed. The #SouthernBaptistConvention in 1971, called for legalization of abortion. Rev. #Criswell - on #RoeVwade - applauded the decision. Dobson stated in 1973, the bible is silent on the matter of #abortion, not to worry about fate of the fetus. #Falwell - did not preach first anti-abortion sermon until 1978.

What really happened - movement that galvanized in defense of racial segregation in placed like #BobJonesUniversity. evangelical support for #DonaldTrump
