Sorry, I've Been Reading Our Nation's Founders
In preparation for today's Supreme Court ruling (schizophrenic), I spent part of the weekend and today researching what our country's founders actually did say - well, wrote - about the role of religion and the new world.
What they said isn't anything like Roy Moore, Noni Scalia, and even Bush would tell you they said. They were gravely concerned about bonding a national religion to the U.S. because - given why their families fled England and elsewhere due to religious intolerance - they knew it would divide the country. Prescient folks, too.
