IMPORTANCE OF SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

FIRST, YES, DRUWAYU IS REAL

Just because something is new doesn’t mean it’s fake or invalid. We are not scamming anyone, and you have every right to believe or disbelieve as you choose. This has been made clear throughout this website and its teaching page, which is a must for everyone to review and check back on in case of any updates as necessary editing and revision occurs. After all, Druwayu is about constant improvement and development.

Religious Freedom in the United States

Druwayu is safeguarded by two legal protections:

The First and Fourteenth Amendments:
- First Amendment: Guarantees the free exercise of religion, prohibiting laws that restrict religious practices.
- Fourteenth Amendment: Prevents state interference with religious freedom and ensures equal protection under the law.
Ordinations by Mail Court Ruling:
- Enables remote hallowing/ordinations: Druwayu plans to develop forms to facilitate this process, expanding accessibility for members.

Druans: Membership and Cultural Identity

Membership: You don’t need to be hallowed (ordained) to be a Druan; joining the church makes you part of the community.
Cultural Identity: Embracing Druwayu’s traditions and understanding Druish culture allows anyone to identify as a Druan. Misrepresentations from unofficial sources should be disregarded.

Church and State Separation

Druwayu strongly upholds the separation of church and state for the following reasons:

Preserves Religious Freedom: Safeguards personal autonomy and prevents religious coercion or persecution, ensuring diverse beliefs can coexist.
Prevents Religious Coercion: Protects individuals from the imposition of specific religious practices or theocracies by the government.
Promotes Respect and Diversity: Encourages pluralism, interfaith dialogue, and equality of opportunity for religious and non-religious individuals alike.
Protects Religious Communities: Ensures religious organizations’ autonomy to carry out their practices without government interference or manipulation.
Supports Rational Governance: Keeps policy decisions rooted in reason, evidence, and the collective good rather than religious dogma or specific group interests.

Historical Significance

The dangers of theocracies and anti-religious policies are evident in history’s repeated examples of harm caused by government interference in faith or its outright denial. Druwayu recognizes the necessity of preserving these freedoms for all citizens—religious and non-religious alike—to prevent oppression and divisive culture wars.

Protecting Rights Amid Debate

The Constitution ensures no official state religion, preserving freedom from religious imposition despite America’s historical religious diversity.
Druwayu encourages open-mindedness and dialogue, emphasizing shared values that transcend historical and cultural divisions.
