A clear separation between religion and government should continue to exist in the U.S.
<u>Explanation:</u>
For a government to run the administration with no bias or hatred towards any element of the society, it is primarily necessary that the religion and state affairs are kept unmixed.
It is so because the state is most vulnerable to come under the influence of the religion followed by the majority and make decisions that do not favor or deliberately cause harm to the minority.
The optimism expressed in the given statement is thus philosophically and ethically correct.
