You’ve all heard the phrase from Jefferson’s “Letter to the Danbury Baptists,” about a “wall of separation between Church & State” and know the use that Big Government and libtard advocates make of it in oppressing primarily Christian practice of religion, but understanding its actual use requires more than simply grasping its use as a tool of oppressing religious practice.
