Make a Statment - Failier to Seperate Church and State




Being a different religion in a predominately Christian area of the world can be very nerve wracking at times. Although the 1st Amendment grants us freedom of religion, there are many loopholes to take that away. Not to mention there is still a lot of discrimination going on that many people who are not part of the minority religions are not aware of. My first picture is a collage of different documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the first official proclamation of Thanksgiving that are full of references to God. The second picture is based on the custody battles separating parents face today and although religion shouldn't be a factor it still is. Also there has been movement in Congress wether to pass a law allowing the Ten Commandments and other religious items in public buildings so I added in a poster of the 10 Commandments to make a comment on that. The third is based on a girl in high school that was not allowed to wear a pentacle (a Wiccan/Pagan symbol of faith) as it could be a "gang symbol", yet others were allowed to wear crosses, here is a link to the story http://www.witchvox.com/va/dt_va.html?a=usfl&c=cases&id=2351
