Five simple words have altered law, policy and even our culture. They've changed the understanding of our Constitution and made their way into Supreme Court opinions. You've heard them in the news, from elected officials, and even in conversations with your neighbors.

We're talking about “Separation of Church and State.”

Most people believe that this five word phrase is in the U.S. Constitution. And even those who understand it isn’t, still refer to it as a type of “constitutional commitment,” as Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor did recently in the Trinity Lutheran v. Comer case.

Because of this phrase's incredible impact on our country, it's important to know where it came from, how it's been distorted, and its proper understanding.
