"I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is
absolute -- where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should
he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his
parishoners for whom to vote -- where no church or church school is
granted any public funds or political preference -- and where no man is
denied public office merely because his religion differs from the
president who might appoint him or the people who might elect him." | Quote by: | |
