You'll Be Safe With Us
23 November 2004Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, speaking at an interfaith conference on religious freedom in an Orthodox, Manhattan synagogue that is home to America's oldest Jewish congregation, argued against the idea of a "religion-neutral government" with this logic: "'Did it turn out that, by reason of the separation of church and state, the Jews were safer in Europe than they were in the United States of America? I don't think so.'" Scalia, a self-described Constitutional "originalist," also cited precedents for religion in government that "go back to America's Founding Fathers," such as having "God" on U.S. currency and "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
