Candidate Rejects Separation Of Church And State

Minnesota: The first announced Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota doesn’t believe in the separation of church and state. Dan Severson told religious broadcaster Brad Brandon, of Word of Truth Radio, that the separation of church and state “just does not exist.”

“Quite often you hear people say, ‘What about separation of church and state?’ There is no such thing,” Severson told Brandon. “I mean it just does not exist, and it does not exist in America for a purpose, because we are a Christian nation.”

He continued, “We are a nation based on Christian principles and ideals, and those are the things that guarantee our liberties. It is one of those things that is so fundamental to the freedoms that we have that when you begin to restrict our belief and our attestation to our Christian values you begin to restrict our liberties.”

He added, “You simply cannot continue a nation as America without that Christian base of liberty.”
