“For Barton and Johnson to subvert the first amendment is both dishonest and myopic. Dishonest because the founders were abundantly clear that they intended church and state to be separate entities. Myopic because the lack of a religious establishment – the separation of church and state – has been the best friend that religion ever had.” - Dr. Randall Balmer, John Phillips Chair in Religion at Dartmouth [the oldest endowed professorship at Dartmouth College]
