That's what that letter was about. And I do want to point out it is not in the United States Constitution, the separation of church and state. May 17 is a very significant date because we did this on May 17th because it was the exact same day. The Continental Congress, May 17 asked the nation to prayer, fast and practice penance for this burgeoning nation during the Revolution in 1776. So this was a perfect day to do this, rededicate our country to our founding principles, which is Christianity. Yeah. And the Constitution says that the government can't establish any one religion or prohibit anyone from practicing their own. (06:38–07:00)
