Well, not exactly. Barry fans need to see the truth.

Here's the deal, keep your religion out of my government and I'll keep
my government out of your religion.



Now there's an idea...separation of religion and state. I wonder if it
will catch on...


Freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. The USA was based upon a
belief in a God.


In EVERY instance in the history of the world, whenever religion and
government have mingled, the government ultimately ended up "owning"
the religion, and governing it as well.

Be careful what you ask for.
