That's not what i said. I said if you allow one religion to set its morality as public policy, than you must either allow all religions the same privilidge, or set up a theocracy with one religion as the Law. The founding fathers saw this clearly, as American Colonies were set up buy successive waves of religious refugees from England. Catholics in Maryland, Church of England in the South, Dissenters (Protestants in New England) Quakers in Pennsylvania.

They provided both freedom of religion, and freedom *from* religion. The second is even more important.
