Political Views on the Relationship of Church and State

            The state and the church are two very powerful bodies that operate globally, with each having its own rules and regulations. In the united states,  both the state and the church are meant to be completely separated, however despite the continuous attempt to ensure that these two entities remain spear, religion still comes back to interfere or influence the state.  Since the medieval period, the state has always remained as an independent body that does not interfere with the operation of the churches. This has enabled the religions to make their own decagons and develop their own belief concerning the world.

The united teases law also prohibits the state from hindering the operation of religious organizations and institutions across in the United States unless they violate various constitutional laws. This clearly shows the individual freedom and respect that religion has compared to the states. In the             American society, the level of political separation between churches and the state is usually determined by the prevalent legal laws and legal structures that usually define the existing relationship between the state and the organized religion.  The states considered religion to be sacred as it has been the cases since the ancient times thus making the state to assume that interfering with religion may result in various serious spiritual repercussions. The constant interference of religion with the state shows clearly that they both have a fundamental link. For instance, in cases of any political incident within the country, such as the formulation of certain laws, the states have to consider the opinion of the various religions within the country.  The aim of this paper is to provide an explanation of George Washington political view on the link between the state and religion and how these views were translated as an issue of public policy.
