Sign in to rateThe revisionist version of America’s history fails to discern the distinction made by the Founders between religious tolerance on the one hand, and their firm belief in the priority of the Christian religion on the other. Did the Founding Fathers desire a "separation of church and state" and where did the idea originate? Is this phrase found in the United States Constitution? Is it in the Bill of Rights or the Declaration of Independence? What does this phrase mean, how is it applied, and what affect should it have on American society? Follow along with Dr. Dave Miller as he traces this concept's roots and how it has become a "misleading metaphor."
