The main purpose of this resolution is to reaffirm the principle of separation of church and state in the United States and to oppose the rise of extreme right-wing Christian nationalism. It highlights the importance of religious freedom and the need to protect individual beliefs from government influence. The resolution also commemorates the 65th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's speech addressing the relationship between religion and government, as well as the 150th anniversary of President Ulysses S. Grant's speech on similar themes.
