1. Separation of Church and State means something wholly different from the separation of religion from politics.

2. Separation of Church and State is a Biblical principle. God has established jurisdictional parameters for the operation of the Church and of the State, as well as for the Family. For example, church leaders should not be operating the civil courts and politicians should not be appointing church elders. This is jurisdictional integrity.

3. Separation of religion from politics is not possible. There is no such thing as moral neutrality, so all people come to politics with a religion or worldview. The honest question is always not WHETHER religion and politics but WHICH worldview and value system will impact politics.

4. If people, when they call for the separation of religion from politics, really mean the separation of Christianity from politics, they should have the integrity to say so. Most people today who call for the separation of religion from politics are not calling for the separation of Humanism or Islam from politics; rather it tends to be a rallying cry against the influence of Christianity on our politics.

5. Canada’s greatest need today when it comes to restoring jurisdictional integrity is the rolling back of a meddling and stifling messianic State from the lawful jurisdictions of the Church, the Family and individual privacy.

6. Christianity advances the decentralized model of jurisdictional integrity (from which the principle of Church/State separation flows). On the contrary, Humanism and other worldviews treat the messianic state as the central organizing principle for human society. This is why most of human history has been a history of totalitarianism and oppression. This is the legacy pursued by Humanism, notwithstanding their contradictory rallying cry of “Separation of Church and State.”

7. Christianity is the only religion/worldview worthy of reference in the politics and civil governance of Canada.
