Krissy's Research Paper Topic
I would like to discuss how religion effects American government. Although the Founding Fathers made it clear that they wanted to keep a clear separation between church and state, religious values and concerns make their way into the day-to-day operation of our government and effect our laws and judiciary system. Even our money says "In God We Trust." One of the founding principles of our nation is the separation of church and state, yet this is not the case. I would like to explore all the ways in which religion pervades the government and its operation. I would also like to come to a conclusion as to whether or not religion in our government has a positive or negative effect on society.

This could be excellent if you focus it enough. I constantly hear people say that all of our founding fathers were firm Christians, but I was under the impression that most of them were deists. Does the fact that they used a language which invoked 'God' mean that they were basing their logic off of Biblical values and that, thus, our laws should still rely on Biblical values? There's a lot to find out.
