		This revolutionary advance for religious freedom in 1786 set the stage for ratification of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1791 with its guarantee of “no establishment” and “free exercise” on the federal level.
		But the same survey suggests that many Americans may have forgotten what Jefferson and Madison meant by “religious freedom.” Forty-nine percent of respondents said there was either no need for separation of church and state in the U.S. or that it should be less strictly interpreted.
		Moreover, Madison contended, the fruits of ecclesiastical establishments throughout history have been “pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.” Confusing government and religion, in other words, is also bad for religion.

		Freedom House said the U.S. score declined in part because of ''a number of legal cases in which prosecutors sought to compel journalists to reveal sources or turn over notes or other material they had gathered in the course of investigations.''
