I think you have absolutely no idea what that means. And it's "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's", translated from the greek Ἀπόδοτε οὖν τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ from the book of Matthew.
The context - is that the Roman authorities demanded that Judeans pay a special poll tax. Theoretically, Jesus was expected to oppose this tax, though there's controversy on whether or not the coin used to symbolize the tax even existed when Jesus was alive.
So once again, we have persecution of the Jews, in the name of religion.
