C&S Liberal Fallacy 3

Liberal Fallacy 3:

Separation of church and state was designed mostly to protect religious
minorities.

That was certainly part of the goal, but just as important was the idea
that wall would allow for religion in general—including the majority
religion flourish. Indeed, Madison and others hoped that the separation of
and state would help spread Christianity.

If that was his intent, he succeeded beyond our wildest nightmares.

That is the opinion of the author of the book. I haven't gotten to any
evidence that he may have presented to back that opinion up yet.
