It was the second half of the reagan quote that you quoted. He was speaking of Jewish protection from a law that was anti-sabbath day in nature. He wanted all beliefs to practice freely, as long as life, limb, or property isn't affected.

I'm not honestly that fearful of ever having a state santioned religion, or church. I know it won't ever happen. But I do fear those who want one. They're dangerous in my eyes.

Well, I agree with you totally on that one. And, RR is the greatest president in modern history. He is right of course, seperation of church and state is critical to our survival. The English Anglican Church and the Crown were one in the same when the founding fathers fled to the new world seeking asylum. The state sanctioned church was rife with corruption and served as a way for the mad king to control his subject's lives. The intimacy of the church setting served as a conduit of information to those who wanted favor or position from King George. Thus his spies numbered in the hundreds, and with such a network of 'eyes' he ruled with a vengence.
