Thomas Jefferson’s Response to a Letter from the Danbury Baptist Association

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God;
that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship; that the legislative powers
of the government reach actions only, and 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.
-Thomas Jefferson’s

Funny how those screaming "separation of church and state" are the one's wanting to punish people for their opinions rather than their actions.

Does the truth have any bearing on which way you go?
