"The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion"
- Billy Graham
About this Quote
In this quote, Billy Graham is highlighting the true intention of the framers of the Constitution when it comes to religious flexibility. He argues that the Constitution was not suggested to completely separate faith from the public sphere, but rather to secure the right to practice one's own religious beliefs without interference from the government. Graham believes that the concept of "freedom from religious beliefs" goes against the original intent of the Constitution and that it is very important to acknowledge and appreciate the function of religion in society. He is advocating for a balance in between religious liberty and the separation of church and state.
