You can’t go too far in political discussion before someone invokes the familiar phrase “separation of church and state”. Many Americans during the holidays also wish for a separation of Thanksgiving and politics.

Esteemed readers, did you know that the idea of the separation of church and state traces primarily back to some key figures from the enlightenment such as John Locke and Pierre Bayle. For our part, we advocate for the friendly interpretation of the phrase which essentially amounts to a peaceful coexistence between churches and government.
