Being well-read and well-educated, the nation’s founders knew full well that religion is a powerful tool, which, in the hands of ambitious politicians and demagogues, is also a dangerous tool. From the god-king Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, to the Rulers of Heaven in ancient China, to the corruption of the pre-Reformation Catholic Church, and the slave churches of the American South, history tells us that the most unholy government on earth is when church and state become one.
