The American republic is the product of historical western heritage. The western heritage banks upon the mosaic of Greco-roman concepts and the Judeo-Christian ideas. Early Christianity was not temporal but a spiritual movement. It had none of the attributes of the political one. The two streams of thought overlapped after few centuries. Under the ambit of sweeping intellectual reforms carried out by great thinkers like Aquinas, some changes were introduced to harmonize both Christianity and Greco-roman traditions. After Renaissance, Greco-roman tradition bounced back with full fervor and the whole weight of the reformation-enlightenment era was the exclusion of the church from the political realm. This particular idea was thrust into law by the first amendment to the constitution of the United States of America. The significance of the individual and the sanctity of life were all central to the conceptions of Plato, Aristotle, or Cicero. Regard for the individual occupies a large chunk of their writings. There is a concept of rule of law. It is very much special to the Greco-roman concepts. Though considerable time was consumed to collect strength against the encroachments of plunderers. Again and again, in the writings of Greco-roman authors, we are overwhelmed with the idea to revere the rule of law, as it is the starting point of all happiness. The Greeks proved their reverence for the laws by holding in esteem Draco as “Draco the Lawgiver”. However, the Judeo-Christian idea of law was manifestly spiritual and non-political. When Christ was shown the visible clash between the secular and religious law, he uttered, “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s”. Citizenship was also a Greek idea, which was elaborated and refined by the Romans. The idea of democracy is Greek innovation. The concept of the republic is a Roman invention (“res publica” — public affairs). The Roman Republic was in existence before the arrival of Christ for about 400 years back..” Their major contributions are strong laws, the importance of the state, the idea of a “heroic” leader, and a strong leader with a strong senate (Devine, 2004). These ideas all highly provided a source of inspiration to the founding fathers of the American constitution. The founding fathers mostly imbibed the enlightenment traditions. Thomson Jefferson was the ardent supporter of this school of thought. If we comb the writings and operations of the founding fathers, it becomes more than obvious that they did not want even the most negligible traces of religion as part of the constitution. The first amendment is holistic and absolute: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, none prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” There is a small difference between our interpretation of the term “respecting” and their meaning of that term. For the Founding Fathers, it meant both “advancing” and “with respect to”. It is the latter one, which is more than absolute. They assert openly that congress shall make no laws concerning any religion. In those times there were laws, which demanded that citizens should pay dues to the ecclesiastical authorities. The first amendment in fact was a
