What one justice on the U.S. Supreme Court had to say to howls of outrage after the court banned states from promoting specific religions or requiring Bible reading and prayer in public schools in the 1947 decision Everson vs. Board of Education:
“My evangelistic [Protestant evangelical] brethren confuse an objection to compulsion with an objection to religion. It is possible to hold a faith with enough confidence to believe that what should be rendered to God does not need to be decided and collected by Caesar.”
— Justice Robert H. Jackson, United States Supreme Court
‘Nuff said on that subject. :-)
