“Don’t tell me about no separation of church and state,” Mayor Adams said. “State is the body, church is the heart. If you take the heart out of the body, the body dies.”
"Don’t tell me about no separation of church and state," Mayor Adams said. "State is the body, church is the heart. If you take the heart out of the body, the body dies."Adams has been open about his Christian faith in the past and last February said that he believed God told him to become the mayor. But his comments on Tuesday seemed to go a bit further.
A new poll gives a negative approval rating to Mayor Eric Adams due to crime and his handling of the migrant crisis. Donna Lieberman, Executive Director of the New York Civil Liberties Union said that Adams needs a refresher of the First Amendment and that one faith can’t be favored over another, including non-belief.
