A Leader Is Someone Who Helps Improve

If Religious Freedom Is To Endure In America, The Responsibility For Teaching Religion To Public School Children Must Be Left To The Homes And Churches Of Our Land, Where This Responsibility Rightfully Belongs. It Must Not Be Assumed By The Government Through The Agency Of The Public School System.

I Believe In A Wall Between Church And State So High That No One Can Climb Over It. When Religion Controls Government, Political Liberty Dies; And When Government Controls Religion, Religious Liberty Perishes. Every American Has The Constitutional Right Not To Be Taxed Or Have His Tax Money Expended For The Establishment Of Religion. For Too Long The Issue Of Government Aid To Church Related Organizations Has Been A Divisive Force In Our Society And In The Congress. It Has Erected Communication Barriers Among Our Religions And Fostered Intolerance.

What James Madison And The Other Men Of His Generation Had In Mind When They Wrote The First Amendment Was That There Should Be No Official Relationship Of Any Character Between Government And Any Church Or Many Churches, And No Levying Of Taxes For The Support Of Any Church, Or Many Churches, Or All Churches, Or Any Institution Conducted By Any Of Them.

A Leader Is Someone Who Helps Improve The Lives Of Other People.

Political Freedom Cannot Exist In Any Land Where Religion Controls The State, And Religious Freedom Cannot Exist In Any Land Where The State Controls Religion.
