November is Separation of Church and State month! The Separation of Church & State Week falls in the week of Thanksgiving Day as a secular response to National Bible Week, from November 19 to 25 this year. The Americans United for the Separation of Church and State (AU) and the Institute for First Amendment Studies (IFAS) declared the week to challenge the notion that “we are one nation, under God” because we are in fact one nation, under our constitution. Starting on the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day, the whole week is dedicated to highlighting the secular values of the American republic and the important work activists and organizations do to raise awareness about legal options available to the victims of church-state violations.
