Fact or False?
Take our Christians and politics “polygraph” test below. See if you can detect which of the statements below is fact and which is false.

 
* indicates a required field
The U.S. Constitution is a secular document made to serve the needs of a secular nation. *
Governments should never legislate morality. That’s outside their job description. Morality is a matter for people to decide as private individuals, not for governments to impose upon them. *
The U.S. Constitution mandates a complete separation between church and state. *
Pastors and churches are called by God to save souls, not to clean up the political life of the nation. We, as believers, have a much higher calling than to be involved in the messy, corrupt, and packed-with-compromise world of politics. *
The early church was entirely focused on spiritual concerns. Personal salvation and Christian growth, not the moral transformation of the surrounding Greek and Roman culture, was its sole concern. *
The key to harmonious and effective government is to leave questions about God and morality out of public deliberations. The machinery of government functions best when theology is kept separate from civics. *
God wants Christians to read the Bible, pray, witness, and attend church. He does not require them to take action to address the moral condition of the culture in which they live. *
When Christians speak out on moral and political matters, encourage others to vote, and even run for office, they come dangerously close to violating the separation of church and state and turning our nation into a theocracy in which government is used to impose belief in God. *
The law prohibiting churches from getting involved in politics has a long tradition in American life and is grounded in the First Amendment’s requirement of complete separation between God and government. *
The purpose of the Bible is to tell us how to get from here to heaven. It is not a “political handbook” and does not address civic or political questions. *
The leaders of the Protestant Reformation—men like Calvin and Luther, were opposed to the separation of church and state. They thought that the state should be used to require conformity to God’s laws. *
America’s Founders understood that one cannot and should not use the principles of Christianity to build a nation. The Founders were rationalists who used reason, not holy writ, to forge a new nation. *
Ancient Greece and Rome bequeathed to the Western world not just a legacy of law and government, but a model of private moral character that has served Western civilization extraordinarily well over the past 2,000 years. To the Greeks and Romans we owe our liberties and our moral tradition. *
The French Revolution is a powerful example of what can happen when the principles of reason, as opposed to the standards of Christianity, are applied to a nation. *
