Description

With the rise in religious politicians trying to force their religion on the USA I decided to provide relevant quotes from founding fathers concerning the matter. There are many more examples than these, but I couldn’t fit more because of the character limit:

“The Constitution of the U.S. forbids everything like an establishment of a national religion.”
-James Madison

“As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.”
-Treaty of Tripoli (Signed by John Adams)

“Religion & Government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together".
-James Madison

"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law."
-Thomas Jefferson

“Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion & Government in the Constitution of the United States…”
-James Madison

“Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law.”
-Thomas Paine
