Religious beliefs can often stand in the way of what leaders really need to do. For example, say a president is a Christian, Buddhist, etc., what their god/gods may tell the to do don't always line up with what the smartest decision is. (sorry lol i know this is confusing, this is the best way i could word what i was trying to say)
The First Amendment reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” This clearly and unambiguously states that the religious institutions must remain out of the government and vice versa.
