I like you you deleted that post.

also churches has no business giving an opinion in politics


You have no idea what the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment says. This Executive Order doesn't violate it. The Executive Order explicitly says "to the greatest extent practicable and to the extent permitted by law". The First Amendment prevents the federal government from supporting organized religion.


Doesn't matter. Any tax exempt organization should have no opinion on politics



Says who?


Thomas Jefferson and others expressing an understanding of the intent and function of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States which reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

The phrase "separation of church and state" is generally traced to a January 1, 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson, addressed to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut, and published in a Massachusetts newspaper. Jefferson wrote,

%u201C"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."[1]
