Op-Ed: Here’s What Washington Would Have Done With the Constitution if the Gov’t Attacked Religious Freedom

Despite the rantings of modern-day revisionists seeking to expunge them from memory, Washington and Lincoln continue to stand as towering figures in 📜American history.

But sadly, not just their statues are targets of cancel culture. The 🗽Freedom they both cherished so deeply and for which they sacrificed so much is under attack not from foreign despots but from within.

It is a tragic irony that secularist zealots use the First Amendment as a constitutional fig leaf in their never-ending crusade to purge all references to faith from the public square.

In 1789, 👤George Washingtonaddressed the United Baptist Churches of Virginia, but his words speak to the attacks on religious liberty today:

“If I could have entertained the slightest apprehension that the 📜Constitution framed by the Convention, where I had the honor to preside, might possibly endanger the religious rights of any ecclesiastical Society certainly I would never have placed my signature to it. … I beg you will be persuaded that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against every species of religious persecution.”
