- Synopsis
- Did the founding fathers of the United States believe in separation of church and state? Of course. Did they not secure an amendment to their Constitution, stating that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"? Thomas Jefferson declared in 1802 that these words placed "a wall of eternal separation between church and state." It is nevertheless fair to ask how high Jefferson and the other founding fathers believed that wall to rise.
