Church-State Separation

Church-State Separation is the principle that government and religious institutions operate independently, ensuring neither controls or favors the other. This means the government cannot establish an official religion or support one religion over others, and religious groups do not have authority over government decisions. The goal is to protect religious freedom for all individuals, allowing people to practice their faith freely without government interference, while also preventing religious influence from shaping laws or policies. This separation helps maintain a fair and neutral government respectful of diverse beliefs.
