 Myths And Mischief of the Religious Right   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In an 1802 letter to the Danbury (Conn.) Baptist Association, Thomas Jefferson, then president, declared that the American people through the First Amendment had erected a "wall of separation between church and state." Jefferson, however, was not the only leading figure of the post-revolutionary period to use the term.
Religious Right activists have tried for decades to make light of Jefferson's "wall of separation" response to the Danbury Baptists, attempting to dismiss it as a hastily written note designed to curry favor with a political constituency.
Of all the lies the Religious Right spreads about separation of church and state, this one -- still frequently espoused by Pat Robertson -- is perhaps the most offensive to church-state separationists because it attempts to taint a vital American principle with the brush of communism.

 New Thought
The diversity of views and styles of life represented in various New Thought groups are difficult to describe because of their variety, and the same reason makes it virtually impossible to determine either membership or adherents.
The origins of New Thought may be traced to a dissatisfaction on the part of many persons with scientific empiricism and their reaction to the religious skepticism of the 17th and 18th centuries.
Warren F. Evans (1817-89), a Methodist and then a Swedenborgian minister (leader of a theosophical movement based on the teachings of the 18th-century Swedish scientist and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg), published a number of works exploring and systematizing the ideas of Quimby.

 United States Commission on International Religious Freedom: Media Room: Editorials: United States Must Defend ...
Maybe when Jefferson spoke of separation of church and state he meant government should be neutral toward religion not hostile to it and that freedom of religion does not mean freedom from it.
The phrase "separation of church and state" in fact appears not in the Constitution, but in a letter Jefferson wrote in 1802 assuring some religious leaders that the First Amendment prohibited Congress from setting up a national church, like the Church of England.
But banning all religious symbols from public display is an odious form of censorship and an affront to our history.
