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.
