Quotations that Support the Separation of State and Church (with Michael Buckner) (1993)

This is a compendium of quotations supporting the separation of state and church compiled by Ed and Michael Buckner. All of these quotes have been thoroughly researched. None are "out of context" or otherwise misleading. For example, the bogus John Adams' quote, "...this would be the best of all possible worlds if there were no religion in it ..." is not included. This compendium is an excellent reference for debating zealots who claim that this is a "Christian Nation", all of Founding Fathers were twice borns, and other nonsense.

Edward M. Buckner, formerly the president of American Atheists and executive director of the Council for Secular Humanism, is a member of the board of directors of American Atheists. He contributed to The New Encyclopedia of Unbelief (edited by Thomas W. Flynn) and The Fundamentals of Extremism: The Christian Right in America (edited by Kimberly Baker), among other publications.
