Neither should "direct" the other but it all boils down to what you mean by "direct."
As far as "the church" (which church?) affecting the government:
Influence? Check.
Dictate policy and laws? I don't think so.

“The church is supposed to direct the Government, the government is not supposed to direct the church”. That is 100% correct. It actually is, since members of the Church in the United States are the American people, and ours is a government of, for, and by the people, it's the Church (Americans who are members of churches, either individually, or acting as churches) who are supposed to direct government. As for statement number two, this is clear by a simple reading of the First Amendment.

So which religion is supposed to direct the gov't ? Sorry but no way.
Boebert is a tool and her constituents are tired of her do nothing but look at me attitude. Funny how she now likes DeSantis, not Trump for pres.

She got elected riding Trump's coattails and now she's done a 180 on aligning with him. She ran as an outsider, and now that she's in she's gonna do what needs to be done and say what needs to be said to hold onto her seat in congress. I guess her husband making a cool $million in the last two years working as a "consultant" to the energy companies operating in her district is hard to let go of.

They have every right to wield their influence over the government that works for them.

About Boebert; would you rather have a democrat? Whatever happened to persuading her to get back to the ideology that get her elected the first time.

Dictate policy and laws? I don't think so. So you feel that teaching gender queer BS in schools is OK? The Church would most likely be against that. How about drag queens putting on shows in grade schools? Or the trans idiocy giving children the right to gender changes before they are old enough to vote and keeping the parent from having a say in the matter? Only Godless heathens are good with what the leftist scum are doing, I guess you qualify.

Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. Religion should influence individuals but not direct our government.

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
