We believe that whether it wants to or not, civil government will legislate a moral standard for society and those moral laws will be based on a religious belief system.

An example of this is the fact that prior to the last 50 years, engaging in homosexual, bisexual, and other deviant sexual acts was not only considered immoral, but was punishable by law in all 50 states. During the past 50 years, under the banner of “you can't legislate morality,” there has been a conscious effort to tear down the laws and morals prohibiting such acts because they were based in religious views, and “we must maintain a separation of church and state.” An example of this is the fact that prior to the last 50 years, engaging in homosexual, bisexual, and other deviant sexual acts was not only considered immoral, but was punishable by law in all 50 states.

In other words, we are still legislating moral and religious views, but the pendulum has swung from legislating morality to legislating immorality, from making laws based on Christian religious views to laws based on anti-Christian views.

We believe government unavoidably will legislate a moral code for society based on a religious belief system, whether that religious belief system includes God, or not. The Constitution Party seeks to restore America to a system of morals and laws that again honor God by upholding Biblical values.
