What Seperation of Church & State?

"Let the pulpit resound with the doctrine and sentiments of religious liberty. Let us hear of the dignity of man's nature, and the noble rank he holds among the works of God... Let it be known that British liberties are not the grants of princes and parliaments."
--John Adams, Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1765
"There is not a single instance in history in which civil liberty was lost, and religious liberty preserved entire. If therefore we yield up our temporal property, we at the same time deliver the conscience into bondage."
--Rev. John Witherspoon, The Dominion of Providence Over the Passions of Men, 1776
I think these 2 signers of the Declaration have a better idea of what role our faith should play in the public square than the "Freedom from Religion" gang does.
