For many decades, the left in America has interpreted the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in a manner that is inherently hostile to religion, particularly to the Christian faith.
An example of the left’s adversarial interpretation of the separation of church and state is the recent decision by U.S. district judge John W. deGravelles, who has ruled that the Ten Commandments are not to be displayed in Louisiana’s public schools. He has declared the public display to be a coercive establishment of religion.
It is hard to overemphasize the importance of Judge deGravelles’s ruling, following as it does the multi-generational assault on Christianity as well as the other monotheistic faiths revering the Ten Commandments.
Historically, when and wherever the left holds the reins of power, the advocates of atheism will attack Christians, as Pope Pius XI noted in his 1937 encyclical concerning atheistic communism.
The ’30s saw the height of the Moscow show trials and the purges that eliminated or sent to gulags millions of Soviet citizens, many of them Orthodox Christians. Those years also saw the acceleration of materialistic atheism in Russian classrooms and an increase in anti-religious efforts in Russia as well as in other nations in which Bolshevism was nascent or ascendant.
As the pope noted, “this all too imminent danger ... is bolshevistic and atheistic Communism, which aims at upsetting the social order and at undermining the very foundations of Christian civilization.”

Communism always fails, but they are unburdened by what has been.
