Yuval Noah Harari and the Last Tower of Babel: an analysis of the doctrine of evolution’s global threat to individual rights.

If there is today any single mainstream, global orthodoxy masquerading as truth, it is without a doubt, the false doctrine of evolution. The theory is so mainstream people don’t even refer to it as “the theory of evolution” anymore. It is just simply – “evolution”. As in, gravity is gravity. Water is wet. Evolution is evolution. Move on, already.


As we’ve seen with Covid, however, it is imperative to ask questions, especially regarding compulsory narratives. If the media, the public school, the government, the medical complex, and the WHO want to compel you to think a certain way, you ought to be a skeptic by default.


Evolution is a godless theory, espoused by godless individuals. Evolution teaches that the origins of life occurred through a random combination of amino acids billions of years ago, and progressively evolved to the vast interconnected complexity that is observed today. All birds. All fish. All humans. All the biodiversity. The insects. Everything. All, according to the theory of evolution, come from a single cell, and developed through natural selection.


There are at least a billion problems with the theory, so many, in fact, that in 2019 over a thousand doctoral scientists signed a public statement dissenting from Darwinism.1 It states the following:


We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged. There is scientific dissent from Darwinism. It deserves to be heard.


But evolution has no intention of having a public debate over its legitimacy. That is not what strongmen do. And most of the scientific world glosses over all of evolution’s glaring and ridiculously obvious flaws with a single BandAid: time. Time is the essential answer to all objections.


You’ve likely heard the analogy about the junkyard and the hurricane. If you give a hurricane four billion years in a junkyard, who knows what amazing machines will be assembled, right? A working telescope? Or (profoundly more complex) the human eye? You can’t say it can’t happen because you’re not going to be alive that long.

That’s basically the theory of evolution.


But when you dig into the implications of evolution instead of assuming it is correct because the overlords who run the Matrix inform you it is, you realize it not only is impossible from a scientific or rational point of view, but you also begin to realize how dark it is.

Evolution, distilled and refined to its logical conclusions, inevitably results in darkness. Hopelessness. Oppression. Indifference. Suicide. Murder. Genocide.


Evolution teaches that there is no meaning to life. It was, and still is, an accident. Since it is an accident, there is no purpose, and no reason to continue to struggle and suffer. That thought alone has driven many a youth to suicide.


Evolution also teaches that the strong survive. Since there is strength in numbers, collectivism and tribalism is the best model of survival. Collectivism creates strength. Companionship. Collaboration. On the other hand, individualism and dissent weakens the collective. It is undesirable.


Survival of the fittest prioritizes aggression. Manipulation. Selfishness. Might makes right. The ends justify the means. Competition for supposedly scarce resources is fierce. So, strike hard, and strike first.


These are all principles inherent in evolutionary thought. There is no golden rule in the evolutionary paradigm. Why would there be? The golden rule is nothing but an impediment to natural selection.


So, we see that there is in Darwinism that which creates outright hostility to the rights of others. Or, in other words, evolution has no room for individual rights.


Consider the implications of the public-school curriculum in the United States, which mandates the teaching of evolution as fact, and has for many decades now.


Evolution is directly antagonistic to the principles of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, which holds “these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”2


Evolution, however, teaches U.S. school children that there is no Creator. He did not endow His creation with anything, because He does not exist. He did not create a humanity, the individuals of which are each recognized as equally valuable in His sight. Therefore, God gave neither life nor liberty.


These teachings directly undermine the very idea of America. They are not only antagonistic to its founding principles, they are contrary to the best interests of its misguided youth, and all of its inhabitants. Teaching children there is no meaning or purpose to life is certainly child abuse. But, to compel children to believe there is no Creator, no purpose to life, and no such thing as inalienable rights is a betrayal of the principles of the Republic.


We can also see that force-feeding evolution creates major problems for a social structure which is significantly based on the protection of minority rights, and individual rights.


Take property rights, for example.


Could it be that the public school curriculum is directly responsible for the creation of the smash-and-grab thugs who terrorize major American cities today? Is it possible that teaching youth that there is no God and no Ten Commandments creates young people who reject law and order, and who disdain the rights of others?

And don’t be deceived by the socialist pope: God believes in property rights. That’s why He commands, “Thou shalt not steal.”


If there’s no God, and no objective right and wrong, how can there any objection to the majority oppressing the minority? Who is there to object? Is there any objection to murder, even?


In the evolutionary worldview, how is murder distinguishable from natural selection? And who has the moral authority to say it is different? Your fellow descendant from the primordial ooze, more recently the cousin of the chimpanzee?


These questions bring us to consideration of the globalist powers of our day. Should anyone be surprised that the tyrants of the WEF and the WHO are fervent adherents to the self-centered religion of Darwin? The thugs of San Francisco reject private property rights, and is it surprising that globalist thugs do the same? If most of the people on earth will “own nothing and be happy”, who is going to own everything?


Simple. The elites will own everything, having stolen it all from everyone else.


We know that Professor Yuval Noah Harari, best-selling author, professor, and principal advisor to the WEF’s Klaus Schwab, has drunk deeply from the Darwinian well. Harari has repeatedly made public insinuations that there are no moral barriers at all to the termination of most of the “useless humans” on planet earth. Harari recognizes no God, and no such thing as human rights. His work is endorsed by Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Barack Obama.3


You can and should hear Harari discuss his ideas at the 2023 Frontier Institute conference.4


In popular presentations and in best-selling books, Harari asserts the following:


  1. There is no God, and no Creator.5 He is a fictional story invented by human beings.
  2. Life is a product of billions of years of evolution.
  3. There is no such thing as right and wrong. Life is meaningless and without purpose.
  4. Since there’s no God, and no such thing as right and wrong, there is no judgment, and no accountability.6


Human rights, like God, are just a fiction, a story that we have invented.


Harari darkly states that if you cut a human open, you’ll find a heart, a liver, and a spleen, but no rights.7


Should we be surprised by Harari, or the sudden plethora of tyrants like him? Harari’s overtly sociopathic musings regarding the elimination of so-called “useless humans” is the natural conclusion of Darwinism.


The textbook definition of sociopathy as an antisocial personality disorder is characterized primarily by disregard for others and a lack of empathy. In other words, a lack of conscience.


Should we be surprised that Harari is also a nihilist? Shouldn’t it be an axiom by now that Darwinism in the end always creates nihilists? Isn’t that a predictable “evolution”? And hasn’t humanity seen it before?


Stalin is said to have read Darwin’s Origin of the Species in one night, unable to put it down. It was Darwin which led Stalin to conclude that there is no God.


The following story is recounted of Stalin’s youth by Yaroslavsky, while Stalin was still in his formative years.


At a very early age, while still a pupil in the ecclesiastical school, Comrade Stalin developed a critical mind and revolutionary sentiments. He began to read Darwin and became an atheist.

G. Glurdjidze, a boyhood friend of Stalin's, relates:


"I began to speak of God, Joseph heard me out, and after a moment's silence, said:

"'You know, they are fooling us, there is no God. . . .'

"I was astonished at these words, I had never heard anything like it before.

"'How can you say such things, Soso?' I exclaimed.


"'I'll lend you a book to read; it will show you that the world and all living things are quite different from what you imagine, and all this talk about God is sheer nonsense,' Joseph said.

"'What book is that?' I enquired.

"'Darwin. You must read it,' Joseph impressed on me".8


Another commenter on Stalin’s policies stated the following:


". . .in order to disabuse the minds of our seminary students of the myth that the world was created in six days, we had to acquaint ourselves with the geological origin and age of the earth, and be able to prove them in argument; we had to familiarize ourselves with Darwin's teachings."9


In China, Mao Tse Tung was also a Darwinist. For Mao, Darwin provided the catalyst for rebellion as a right. As noted by China scholar James Pusey,


Mao Tse-tung finally claimed that Marxism-Leninism could all be boiled down to one sentence, tsao fan yu li — “To rebel is justified” — but that standard translation obscures the force of the li (reason or principle) that rebellion was now said to have. That Neo-Confucian word in [its] new context really meant that rebellion was a natural law, and that lesson had been taught to Mao Tse-tung not by Marx but by Sun Yat-sen and Liang Ch’i-ch’ao, who had learned it, rightly or wrongly, from Darwin. For the li of revolution, they had said, lay in evolution.10


According to Sir Arthur Keith, Adolph Hitler “consciously sought to make the practice of Germany conform to the theory of evolution.”11 Should this surprise anyone? Isn’t Untermensch just another word for “useless people”?


What Harari is teaching is age-old darkness. But, in largely accepting the theory of evolution into their doctrines, much of the Christian world has made a compromise with darkness, and no longer recognizes it for what it is. But there is nothing Biblical or Christian about evolution, and there is nothing evolutionary about Christianity. The two ideas are diametrically antagonistic to each other, and always will be.


Christianity has as its foundation a self-sacrificing Creator God who came to reunite God and Man, and to pay the penalty of sin. His followers, receiving the promise of a new heart and mind, are commanded to live for the good and salvation of others. They are even willingly to “die daily”.12 Nothing could be further from the teachings of evolution. Evolution is a greedy, grasping religion, built on the deification of self, openly embracing Machiavellianism, and rejecting the value of the individuals for whom Christ laid down His life.


There are Christians who foolishly attempt to reconcile the Bible with the theory of evolution, but this cannot be. Evolution recognizes no Creation, no Creator, no Fall, no such thing as sin, no need for an atonement, no resurrection, and no judgment. Attempting to reconcile the teachings of Jesus Christ with those of Charles Darwin is a delusion.


It is no mystery who inspired the theory of evolution. Satan was a liar and a murderer from the beginning,13 and it is unsurprising that his masterpiece of deception, evolution, is an integral cog in the last-day plan for the global elimination of all the so-called “useless people”. The original title of Darwin’s notorious work from 1859 was, “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life”. It was a work of eugenics from the beginning.


We can see the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. Most animals recognize the warning signs of impending danger, and head for cover. However, it may be that most of humanity is already too brainwashed to recognize its peril.



Crowds of cheering people listen enthusiastically to Harari lay out the globalist justifications for mass genocide, which presumably includes the elimination of the vast majority of people who clap for him.

Only rudimentary microscopes were available in Darwin’s time. It is now observed, however, that one human cell is more complex than a mid-size city at rush hour. This complexity was unknown to Darwin, who himself was given pause by the sight of a peacock’s feather in 1860 when he wrote, “The sight of a feather in a peacock's makes me sick." He could not account for its complexity.

DENIALISM, A Noun: Rejecting Propositions Supported By Clear Evidence

By Wings of Liberty • September 17, 2026
The general denial of Babylon to the approaching threat of Cyrus the Great in 539 B.C. uncomfortably mirrors the stupor of the average American in 2026. As Cyrus approached the city of Babylon with his army, Babylon partied because they believed that their city was impregnable. The city was well-stocked with food. It had an endless supply of water. Its walls were thick – too thick for any siege engine of the ancient world to overcome. Inside the walls, Babylon partied like it was never going to end. The word on the street was, “Cyrus who?” Babylon was once the greatest nation in the world – the “glory of nations”, according to Isaiah 13:19. But it fell through a combination of mismanagement, corruption, and vice. At the twilight of its reign it offered one last crowning insult to the Creator God which sealed its fate. King Belshazzar ordered the sacred vessels from the temple in Jerusalem to be used to toast his heathen deities. That was the night Babylon fell. Today, America, still the greatest nation in the world, is facing mounting obstacles on seemingly every side. It is 40+ Trillion dollars in debt and counting. The nations of the world increasingly refuse US bond offerings, driving both interest rates [1] and payments on debt held by foreign nations, up. The dollar is under increasing threat around the world because of the never-ending excesses of money printing. The man on the street, however, is absorbed in getting those devalued dollars, and thinks little, if at all, of the debt crisis threatening his country. Many foreign nations resent the greenback hegemony. No other nation on earth can simply manufacture endless money out of thin air to fund its war machine without severely devaluing its currency and crippling its economy. The BRICS payment method proposes an alternative to the US dollar system. [2] The BRICS economies represent 40% of global trade. Their influence is not insignificant. 40% of global trade utilizing non-dollar exchange platforms would result in a commensurate loss in both power and influence for the world’s superpower. There are other signs of crisis. In America, Congress has lost control of the war power. [3] Congress has the exclusive right to declare war pursuant to Article I, Section 8, Clause 11. But the war in Iran has not been authorized by Congress. It was initiated by the Executive Branch. The nation that is “Not At War” with Iran has depleted its munitions [4] and its strategic oil reserve via its “non-war that is really a war”. [5] Efforts to return the power to declare war to Congress this week were stymied by the Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. [6] Johnson, an Evangelical dispensationalist who does not believe in the separation of church and state, believes that there is “a biblical admonition to stand with Israel.” [7] Israel wants America to be at war with Iran, so… Meanwhile, diesel has hit $10/gallon in some places in California due to the crippling taxes in that state, as well as the closure of most gasoline refineries. And while $10/gallon diesel is not the national norm, oil executives are sounding the alarm over the depleted petroleum reserve, rising prices and the potential for shortages in some places. Some analysts are again calling for $200/barrel oil, [8] or more. Much more. We note that Babylon did not fall until its blasphemous insult to the God of heaven. Even though every sign points to looming existential crisis in the western world, Bible prophecy indicates that it is not until church and state unite to compel observance of the “Day of the Sun”, also known as Sunday, that catastrophic and irreversible unravelling occurs. The parallels are clear. But that does not mean that the signs of Babylon’s pending fall were not present before it happened. Cyrus camped outside the city with his army for some time, making efforts to enter the city through the partially diverted Euphrates. When the water was low enough, he marched under the walls and took the city virtually unopposed. His presence outside the walls were an indication of what was about to transpire. Today, there are growing rumors of a push to unite church and state in the western world – a final act of rebellion against the God of heaven. The signs of the times abound. A word of warning to the inhabitants of modern Babylon is in order. --------------------------------------------------------- 1. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/terrible-20y-auction-prices-huge-tail-lowest-foreign-demand-record 2 https://www.brics-info.org/f59880488935cdcfd5d13a33d95be2f4/ ; https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2026/01/29/brics-payment-settlement-the-quest-and-implications/ 3 https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/war_powers ; https://www.newsweek.com/pete-hegseth-popularity-hits-record-low-as-massie-pushes-impeachment-12451574 4 https://www.outlookindia.com/international/us-flags-munition-shortfalls-as-iran-war-cost-hits-334-billion-pentagon 5 https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/general/oil-executives-say-the-great-fuel-crisis-is-here/ar-AA2cd9KX 6 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/speaker-johnson-recesses-house-early-blocking-massies-push-to-impeach-hegseth 7 . https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/04/21/speaker_johnson_on_israel_aid_package_for_those_of_us_who_are_believers_its_a_biblical_admonition_to_stand_with_israel.html 8. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4945955-saudi-arabia-under-attack-oil-should-be-above-200

FAUCI and THE VATICAN:   THE STORY THE MEDIA REFUSES TO COVER

By Wings of Liberty • August 14, 2026
It is apparent that there are obvious media biases which result in coverage blackholes with both the left-wing media and the right-wing media. The leftist media avoids stories that are politically problematic for the left, and the right-wing media avoids stories which are unfavorable to the political right. Unless you are a complete partisan-loyalist-come-what-may (and these abound, to be sure) you know both sides of the media have their agendas. And they push those agendas with the issues they cover, how they cover them, or whether an issue gets covered at all. Control of information = control of people. If you needed any further evidence that the western media is bought and sold, major broadcast networks ABC, NBC, and CBS, along with cable news outlets CNN and MSNBC, largely ignored the stunning release of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diary entries leading up to his testimony, or rather non-testimony, at the Senate on July 29, 2026. [1] The Fauci diary files, which can be read here , expose a number of lies Fauci told the public versus what he recorded in private, [2] including conflicting stories about the origins of the virus and its actual versus claimed risk of fatality to the public. Following the hearing on July 29, during which Fauci refused to answer questions and pled the Fifth Amendment 111 times, most major news outlets either gave cursory coverage to the testimony, or actively defended Fauci’s conduct. Similarly, most major news outlets failed to report the bombshell revelation that Bill Gates held Q level security clearance through the Department of Energy (equivalent to top secret clearance issued by the Defence Department) during COVID, or questions Fauci refused to answer from Senator Rick Scott related to Fauci’s involvement with Bill Gates, [3] or Gates’ funding of virus research. Bill Gates’ top level security “typically applies to positions involving nuclear weapons design, national laboratories, critical energy infrastructure and classified scientific research”. [4] Fauci is stonewalling Congress and the American public and the world at large has yet to learn exactly what Fauci and Bill Gates were up to regarding gain of function research and the subsequent MRNA “vaccine” which was imposed and coerced so forcefully onto the public. Was this just about money? Make a virus, sell a “cure”? Or was it also about something even darker – like depopulation? The Covid shots were not only ineffective in preventing infection or transmission of Covid-19, they killed and maimed a lot of people. In 2010, Gates said that “if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower [population] by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.” [5] Despite an almost superhuman media campaign to recast this statement as benign, there just seems to be no amount of media weaseling that will make it go away. And since “reproductive health services” is often just the sleaze ball way of saying “abortion”, reasonable people have reasonably concluded that a good translation of what Gates said in the 2010 TED Talk is just what it sounds like: that if the elites abort more babies and inject people with more dangerous pharma cocktails, the population of planet earth will decrease by 10-15%. Which is a goal the Club of Rome and other elite orgs have been talking about for decades. [6] But back to Fauci: facts are facts. Fauci knew the virus was intentionally genetically modified: he had funded that research through the NIAID. Fauci publicly pushed the narrative during the pandemic that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was natural, and evolved from a wet market, which was false. It looks just like a man covering his tracks. Analysis of the virus revealed a novel furin cleavage site found at the S1/S2 boundary of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which is absent in closely related natural coronaviruses like SARS-CoV. This specific additional sequence creates the mechanism whereby SARS-CoV-2 can infect human airways by facilitating viral entry by pre-cleaving the spike protein and significantly increasing infectivity, tropism, and syncytia formation. Fauci was aware that this very mutation was the purpose of NIAID funding and gain of function efforts, all while attempting to convince the public that the virus was natural. If you haven’t watched the full July 29, 2026 Fauci Senate hearing, you should. The link is here. And, as you may already know, in the intervening time between then and now, another shoe from the millipede has dropped. It has come to light that Fauci knew early on that the Covid vaccine could cause baby miscarriages in pregnant women, but he publicly informed the world that pregnant women should take it, and that it was safe. [7] If it looks like a depopulation agenda, and it walks like a depopulation agenda… But there is another story which the western media, left or right, refuses to cover regarding Tony Fauci, and that is his link to the Vatican. Sometimes what is not said is just as informative, if not more so, than what is said. And that is why it is so notable that both left and right wing media avoid investigation and coverage of the Vatican’s involvement in the narratives of both Anthony Fauci, as well as another public perp named Jeffrey Epstein. [8] If you watch Fox News, you will see that it is almost as averse to criticism of the Vatican or investigation into Fauci’s connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, vax mandates, as left-wing media outlets like CNN. It’s the same with Epstein and the Vatican. Radio silence from legacy media, be they left or be they right. Yes, its true that Fox News has turned on Fauci – but it doesn’t really have a choice at this point because the story has become too big. It’s either cover Fauci, or lose all credibility with that segment of the conservative base which smells all the dead rats under Fauci’s floorboards. So, Fox News covered Fauci’s diary and his narcissistic obsession with fame. It covered allegations Fauci misled Congress on the origins of the virus. It covered Fauci’s gross exaggeration of the fatality rate of Covid-19 in public, while privately documenting that it is actually far less dangerous. Fox News covered all of that. But Fox News is awfully quiet re Fauci and the Vatican. And there definitely is a connection between Fauci and the Vatican that any investigative journalist worth their salt should want to dig at. It’s not just that Fauci is Catholic, and the Vatican is the civil power of the church-state union of the Catholic Church. It’s not just that Fauci is being sheltered and aided in the midst of congressional scrutiny and public exposure by the Jesuits at Georgetown University, [9] which of course he is, or that the Jesuits are the militant arm of the Papacy, which of course they are. It’s not just that Joe Biden (Catholic) gave Tony Fauci (also Catholic) an unconditional pardon for all of his crimes during the pandemic no matter how heinous, or that the popes of old used to grant such plenary indulgences for all sins to the crusaders who furthered their wars. Isn’t that how it works in the confessional, behind the scenes? “Forgive me father, for I have sinned.” “What have you done, my son?” “Do you have the internet? I killed millions of people with a genetically altered virus and then told the whole world they needed to take a poison shot to save them from the virus.” “Yes, its all forgiven, my son. Ego te absolvo. Go do 33 ‘hail Mary’s’ and keep your head down at Georgetown for awhile.” The reality is that the Vatican and Fauci were teammates during Covid. The Vatican pushed lockdowns and Covid shots globally arguably as hard as Tony Fauci, and brought all its moral and spiritual influence to bear on the reluctant to overcome their misgivings. The Pope told every Catholic in the world that they have a “moral obligation” to take the Covid shot. [10] He told them it was “morally licit” even though derived from cell lines from aborted foetuses. [11] The Vatican even minted a coin celebrating the imposition of the Covid shot on the human family. [12] In doing so it publicly celebrated oppression, force, deception, coercion, and corruption. It celebrated everything that is anti-Christian, and anti-liberty of conscience. And early in the rollout of the Covid shots, the Vatican held a symposium to chart a course for world governments to overcome vaccine hesitancy in the face of public reports that the shots were killing people. The event was hosted by Pope Francis, and included the CEOs of Pfizer and Moderna. Opening remarks were delivered by none other than Anthony Fauci. What did Tony Fauci say at this conference hosted by the Pope? Well, among other things, Fauci informed the crowd that moral authority needed to be brought to bear to overcome the doubters. The right voice was needed to overcome the hesitant, and those who did not want an experimental gene editing franken-shot under threat of punishment via the loss of civil liberties. Fauci said the key to overcoming current vaccine hesitancy is pairing the right medical message with the right messenger. “You have someone who’s a deeply religious person who will listen to their clergy.” [13]  Oh yes. There are plenty of dead rats in the Tony Fauci’s former office. One by one Congress will ensure that some of them are found and publicly ventilated. Fauci may take a public fall, and some media outlets will be compelled to cover some of his disgrace. But no mainstream media dares to touch the involvement of the Vatican with Fauci. And you should ask yourself what that means. And when you have thought about the implications you may know a little more about who really runs this world.

Religious Liberty Comments Needed

By Wings of Liberty • July 7, 2026
TO: THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Via EMAIL: RLC@usdoj.gov RE: RECOMMENDATIONS OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY COMMISSION Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback to the recommendations of the Religious Liberty Committee submitted to President Donald J. Trump on June 26, 2026. While we are mindful of the Committee’s labors which resulted in the 12 recommendations released June 26, certain of which we agree with, we write to voice our concerns and objections to the Committee’s first and ninth recommendations, 1 and its obviously insufficient consideration of the warnings of the Founding Fathers of the dangers of a union of church and state, or the many lessons of history regarding same. The Committee recommended that the Department of Justice “issue guidance clarifying the proper understanding of the Establishment Clause and separation of church and state.” 2 At the formal release of the Committee’s recommendations on the same day, Committee Chair Dan Patrick publicly stated that, “The separation of church and state is not in the constitution, ” and that the phrase “ has no constitutional basis .” 3 As citizens and students of history, and as Christians, we are alarmed, lest the flawed and unconstitutional view of the Chair of the Committee of the so-called “ proper understanding of the Establishment Clause and the separation of church and state”, prove influential or worse, instructive, to the Department of Justice. If the Committee’s opinion of the so-called “proper understanding” of the Establishment Clause is the same as that of its Chair, it is apparent that its understanding is not proper, but rather improper. Founding Father, “Father of the Constitution”, and fourth President of the United States, James Madison, contradicted Chair Dan Patrick’s claim that the separation of church and state is not in the Constitution. Madison stated that, “ Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion & Govt in the Constitution of the United States , the danger of encroachment by Ecclesiastical Bodies, may be illustrated by precedents already furnished in their short history." According to James Madison, the separation of church and state is in the Constitution. As to whether James Madison, who is the principle author of the Establishment Clause, or Dan Patrick, is the greater authority on this subject, we think it not difficult for reasonably minded people to ascertain. Certainly, the Founding Fathers were all aware of the persecution of the Baptists, Quakers, Jews, and others in some of the colonies. They had seen first hand the ear croppings, whippings, imprisonment and hangings in Massachusetts and other colonies. In Europe, the persecution of the martyrs is well documented. Today we take the Bible for granted, but forget that William Tyndale was executed for translating the Bible into the English language not by atheists, but by religious bigots. It was a union of church and state which suppressed speech and the freedom of the press in England. It was a union of church and state which prohibited the work of translation of the Bible which changed the world. It was a union of church and state which necessitated his flight to Europe. It was a union of church and state which killed him. We respectfully ask that the Department of Justice, in considering the issue of public guidance of the separation of church and state, consider the history of William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, and early Founding Father, who was repeatedly jailed for his religious faith in England. Pennsylvania Colony became a haven, not from atheist persecutors, but religious persecutors who did not believe in the separation of church and state. The same is true of Roger Williams, founder of the colony of Rhode Island, who was ordered arrested for declaring that the civil magistrate cannot enforce the first table of the Decalogue. We ask that the Committee take into account the brutal public whipping of President Abraham Lincoln’s five-time great grandfather, Obadiah Holmes, in Massachusetts colony, for the “crime” of religious dissent. Obadiah Holmes was not whipped by atheists. He was whipped by Puritan bigots who did not believe in the separation of church and state. We respectfully request that the Department of Justice consider this history in the issuance of public guidance on the subject. We are concerned that the Committee neglected to take into account the impact of the separation of church and state on the other rights codified in the First Amendment. Free speech and freedom of the press, for example, owe their flourishing in the modern world in large part to the separation of church and state in America. Prior to the protections in the First Amendment, the Roman Catholic Church for centuries maintained a list of banned books called the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. The books were subject to confiscation, and the possession of them resulted in the punishment of the owner. Unfortunately, the Committee makes no mention of the censorship in this context of Galileo and Kepler, Kant and Locke, John Milton and Maimonedes, John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham, David Hume and Edward Gibbon, and many others, all at the behest of the Roman Papacy, which is itself a union of church and state. Free speech in the western world is the legacy of those who risked the wrath of a unified church and state, often at the cost of their lives. We would also ask that the Department of Justice consider the repeated modern calls from the papal power today for the censorship of the internet, and the suppression of free speech, contrary to the First Amendment. 4 We have no doubt that the censorship of Galileo, Kepler, Milton and others was prosecuted under the justification of the censorship of misinformation, also. The Roman Church was not alone in this persecution, either. We would ask the Department of Justice in its formulation of public guidance on the separation of church and state to remember the religious persecutions carried out at the behest of John Calvin in Geneva against religious dissenters such as Michael Servetus, who paid with his life for his writings and teachings. Servetus was executed by a union of church and state. We are concerned at the public statements of those who would create such a system in America. 5 Therefore we respectfully ask what proper guidance can the Department of Justice hope to give to the public on the “proper understanding of the Establishment Clause and the separation of church and state” if it is directed in its object by a Committee and a Committee Chair, who has neglected to more fully analyze the reasons for the separation of church and state, or the reasons why the United States codified the disestablishment of church and state in the First Amendment in the first instance? Reference to the wall of separation between church and state is not only mentioned by President Thomas Jefferson in the letter to the Danbury Baptists, which of course it is. 6 What is often left out of the narrative is that Jefferson said that he personally believed that the principle of the separation of church and state is codified in the Constitution. Therein, Jefferson wrote: Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, ¬t opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. 7 James Madison wrote, It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of Citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The free men of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much soon to forget it. 8 Lastly, we object to the recommendation of the Committee that the Johnson Amendment be removed. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are mindful of Our Lord’s words that we “render to Caesar what is Caesar, and to God the things that are God’s.” 9 Jesus Christ established the principle of the separation of church and state, and taught that what belongs to God cannot be rendered to Caesar. The application of this teaching is that religionists, ambitious for civil power, and politicians ambitious for their endorsement, are to be kept separate in the American system of politics, as the Constitution requires. The union of church and state results in the corruption of both, a result which neither should desire, and neither can afford. Madison stated that “The number, the industry, and the morality of the Priesthood, & the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the Church from the State." 10 And he was right. If the Johnson Amendment is removed, religionists who want civil power will publicly stump and promise their votes and congregational dollars in exchange for political favors, and the politicians will be doubtless all too eager to reciprocate in the form of legislation which the religionists desire provided they will aid their attempts to gain office. In his anonymous treatise published in the Boston Gazette, John Adams, later the second President of the United States, wrote that canon law was a tyrannical form of government, as was feudal law, but that the worst of all forms of governments was a union of the two. 11 And it was Madison who stated that, “In the Papal System, Government and Religion are in a manner consolidated, & that is found to be the worst of Governments.” We respectfully request therefore that the Department Justice not adopt recommendations 1 and 9 of the Committee, and that it does adopt recommendation 1 of the Committee that it convene a public hearing, with written and oral submissions from the public, to more comprehensively study the question of the separation of church and state in history, and in American history in particular, a study which we would enthusiastically support.

That Congress is prohibited by the Constitution from making a union of church and state. 8 James Madison, Memorial and Remonstrance against Religious Assessments 9 Matthew 22:21 10 James Madison, Letter to Robert Walsh, March 2, 1819. 11 John Adams, Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1765. https://www.masshist.org/publications/adams-papers/index.php/view/PJA01dg2 Since the Promulgation of Christianity the two greatest systems of Tyranny that have Sprung from this source, are the Cannon and the feudal Law. The Desire of Dominion, however noble and useful on the whole, is however, when unawed and unrestrained by Hopes and Fears, an encroaching, grasping, restless and ungovernable Principle. And among all the Variety of iniquitous systems that have been contrived by the great, for the Gratification of it, in themselves was never So successful, as in the Invention and Establishment of the Cannon and the Feudal Law. In the former, the most refined, sublime, extensive and astonishing Constitution of Policy that was ever conceived by the human Mind, we find was framed by the Romish Clergy, for the Aggrandisement of their own order. All the Epithets, that I have given to the Romish Policy, will be owned to be just, when it is considered, that they found it practicable to persuade Mankind, that God almighty had intrusted them with the Keys of Heaven, whose Gate they might open and Close at Pleasure—With a Power of Dispensation over all the Rules and Obligations of Morality—With an Authority to Licence all sorts both of Sins and Crimes.—With a Power of deposing Princes, and absolving subjects from their Allegiance.—With a Power of procuring or witholding the Rain of Heaven and the Beams of the Sun—With the Management of Earthquakes, Pestilence and Famine—Nay with the misterious, awful Incomprehensible Power of Creating out of Bread and Wine the Flesh and Blood of the great Creator of the Universe. And all these opinions, they were enabled to propagate and rivet in the Minds of the People, by reducing the Minds of the Common People them to a State of Sordid Ignorance and staring Timidity, and by infusing into them a religious Horror of Letters and Knowledge of every Kind. Thus was human Nature chained fast for ages in a cruel, shameful, deplorable Servitude, to him and his Subordinate Tyrants, who it was foretold, would exalt himself above all that was called God and that was worshiped. In the latter We find another System, Similar in many Respects to the former: which, altho it was originally formed, perhaps for the necessary Defense of a barbarous People, against the Inroads and Invasions of her neighboring nations; Yet for the Same Purposes of Tyranny, Cruelty and Lust, which had dictated the Cannon Law, it was soon adopted by allmost all the Princes of Europe and wrought into the Constitution of their Govt. It was originally a Code of Laws 110for a vast Army in a Perpetual Encampment. The General was invested with the Sovereign Propriety of all the Lands within their Territory—of Him the first Rank of his great officers, held the Lands, immediately, and the other subordinate Ranks, held of them, and all held by a Variety of Duties and services, tending to bind the Chains the faster on every order of Mankind. In this Manner the Common People were held together in Clans and Herds in a State of Servile Dependance on their Lords, bound by the tenure of their lands to follow them to their Wars whenever they commanded, and in a state of total Ignorance of every Thing divine and humane, excepting the Use of Arms and the Culture of the Lands. But another Event, still more calamitous to human Liberty, was a wicked Confederacy between the two Systems of Tyrany above described. It seems to have been even stipulated between them that the temporal Grandees, should contribute every Thing in their Power to maintain the Ascendancy of the Priesthood, and the Spiritual Grandees in their turn, shold employ that ascendancy over the Consciences of the People, in impressing on their Minds a blind, implicit obedience to civil Magistracy.
