Amen to that!... "Religion and government are certainly very different things, instituted for different ends; the design of one being to promote our temporal happiness; the design of the other to procure the favor of God, and thereby the Salvation of our Souls. While these are kept distinct and apart, the Peace and welfare of society is preserved, and the ends of both are answered. By mixing them together, feuds, animosities, and persecutions have been raised, which have deluged the world in blood, and disgraced human nature." John Dickinson, 1776
