The
United States
Founding fathers believed
that the wall of separation
of church and state
was requisite for
freedom of religion.
It was a tough
stance
to
take
in the face
of expectations
of religious expansion
into every facet  of life at that time
and it is a tough stance to uphold now
in the face of the same misguided forces.
 

Madison and Jefferson, etc., were wise men
to take the position they did.
Let’s hope wise men and women
of today and tomorrow will continue the traditions
established by them and continue to
patch, repair and brace that wall —
the greatest protection for
religious freedom
ever devised.
