Overview

The Myth of Separation: Toward the Law of No Harm is a sweeping journey through humanity's long entanglement of faith, law, and power. From the fires of tribal ritual to the marble halls of modern democracies, Jonathan Daniel Clements traces how every civilization has claimed to divide church and state-while secretly binding them together. Across thirty-three meticulously crafted chapters, this work spans theology, philosophy, and political history to reveal the shared heartbeat beneath empires and revolutions alike. Pharaohs, prophets, philosophers, and presidents each reappear here as part of one vast conversation about authority, conscience, and the sacred roots of justice. Clements dismantles the illusion of neutrality in governance, showing how modern institutions still echo the language of ancient temples. He moves from Plato's ideal republic to Augustine's divine city, from the American Constitution to the algorithms shaping modern speech-building toward a new moral foundation for the future: the law of no harm. Written in long-form, scholarly prose yet grounded in moral clarity, The Myth of Separation invites readers-academics, policymakers, jurists, and citizens alike-to reconsider the story of freedom itself. It is not a rejection of faith or law, but a reconciliation of both. What emerges is a vision of civilization guided not by fear or obedience, but by conscience, compassion, and the enduring responsibility to do no harm.
