Thomas Jefferson addressed the Baptists by saying: Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.[20]
Republicans are always referencing "Our Founding Fathers." I thought you out to read the words straight from the mouth of one of the most respected FF. Religion is a matter strictly between each person and his G-d. The end. No teacher, policeman,clerical figure, politician, parent, advisor, dictator, or guilt-ridden friend can intercede.
