On religion, I agree with Thomas Jefferson

[Luddly Neddite]

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. ... Reason and free enquiry are the only effectual agents against error..”

Keep churches out of the secular world, out of government, out of schools, keep government out of churches.

Whether you believe in a god or not, surely you recognize the value in protecting both.

And we keep atheism out of public schools as well.

It was like that up until 1954. This great nation seemed to do just fine w/o all of the wholly rolller babble

I don't think you understnd what Jefferson meant because you consisently take positions contrary to what he has said.

"I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world and do not find in our particular superstition [Christianity] one redeeming feature." Thomas Jefferson

"Religions are all alike- founded upon fables and mythologies." Thomas Jefferson

... says one who preaches that she knows what god means and then consistently posts anti-chrisitian opinions of hate and intolerance.

Since you you what Mr Jefferson "meant", perhaps you would be so kind as to educate me.
