Religious Fervor Fever
0
PoliticalProf muses on separation of state and religion as viewed by the framers of the Constitution. The piece is short and worth your while.
Remember, when the Founders wrote drafted the Constitution, witch trials were still within living memory and religious wars with their grandparents’ memories. (Yes, I know that, in “religious” wars, religion is often be a proxy for, or, at least, mixed with other things, such as economic oppression, and bigotry, even population pressure; we can see that today, too.)
Afterthought:
I live about two miles from a street called “Witchduck Road.” It has that name for a reason.
