Pew Research Center data shows that about 70 percent of the U.S. population identifies as Christian, although that category is broken down into various denominations with differing beliefs. Jefferson, one of the Founding Fathers, authored the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The Taliban, an Afghan militant group, forcefully impose an extremist interpretation of Islam on their nation's population. To protect against this, the First Amendment states that " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Kinzinger, an anti-Trump Republican, slammed Boebert's opposition to the principle of keeping religion separate from the government. Boebert, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, recently took issue with the constitutional separation of church and state.
