We establish no religion in this country. We command no worship. We mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are and must remain separate. -Ronald Reagan, 40th US President (1911-2004)
What President Reagan said is the historical fact and the founding ideal of the country, but I think he would be dismayed by the fact that religious belief is being driven more and more out of the debates over public policy. We are approaching the condition of mandating unbelief.
