Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government. –James Madison, Fourth President of the United States

A government cannot be premised on the belief that all persons are created equal when it asserts that God prefers some. –Retired Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun

The great decisions of government cannot be dictated by the concerns of religious factions….We have succeeded for 205 years in keeping the affairs of state separate from the uncompromising idealism of religious groups and we mustn’t stop now. To retreat from that separation would violate the principles of conservatism and the values upon which the framers built this democratic republic. –Barry M. Goldwater, Speech to the U.S. Senate, September 16, 1981
