"But separation of church and state was never meant to separate God and government"
- Roy Moore
About this Quote
This quote by Roy Moore recommends that the separation of church and state, as detailed in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, was not intended to totally eliminate God from the government.

Moore thinks that the government needs to still recognize and appreciate the function of God in society, and that the federal government must not be entirely secular. He believes that the government needs to be permitted to acknowledge God and to make decisions based on religious concepts.
