Can’t remember when they enact that law but my guess is they didn’t what conservative organizing in a stupid attempt of separation of Church and state.
Exactly. It was to prevent goverment from taking sides.
From establishing a state religion, like the Church of England.
Yep…and prevent them from interfering with religion.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

Do you condemn this sign:
Black Press Only . . .
Hung at a political gathering. They didn’t want any white people representing the press at the event.
How it that NOT racist.
Those cries of separation were mistaken. The involvement of religious leaders in political campaigns isn’t even against the spirit of church-state separation.

How about congregations?
Yep it’s racist… why do people assume that I don’t think black people can be racist?
Interesting question. They do push their religious values/state values from goverment offices. But they also pay state and local property tax. Federal land is exempt.
Never researched it.
What?
I don’t think it would be, either. Is the rule that churches only can’t back a candidate or that they can’t support/oppose any side in any issue, be it a constitutional amendment, a referendum, or a bill? The first is doable, but the second seems impossible to do.
There is some hope for you after all.

The sign in the article I linked to was hung on the door of a political gathering.
I know. All I said was that churches had anti Obama marquis.

Is it? Or is it cultural?
I’ve heard a lot of people say things such as when the discussion is racism, white people should be quiet. When it is women’s issues, men should shut up. When it is gun issues, hoplophobes should zip it.
What do I bring to the table in a discussion of black issues by black people? Just the white context and that’s probably not much value.
If I was black, I wouldn’t trust white reporters to tell my story right either.
That came across snippier than intended - apologies friend.
