Quote of the Day

Hmm...I think Jefferson would be a bit disappointed with us these days:

"I consider the government of the U.S. as interdicted by the Constitution from intermeddling with religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises."

-- Thomas Jefferson (letter to Samuel Miller, 23 January 1809)

Reference: Jefferson Writings, Peterson, ed., 1186.
