US Founding Fathers' Wisdom ( Church & State Divided)

As I said earlier, sometimes you have to go where the investigation leads. The " US Founding Father's Tolerance & Islam" debate continues on. I found several (Parts I, II and III ) of rebuttals to James Hutson's May 2002 Article about "The Founding Father and Islam" . If you google them you can find them and read them. I also found a perspective from an outsider( Herman T. Salton, from the Department of International Politics, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK) .On April 24,2013 this scholar ( via Canadian Center of Science and Education) published online writings ," A Stroke of Genius? Religion, the Founding Fathers and the Creation of the American Polity". The following quote puts the whole matter in a different light- "...the wisdom of the US Founding fathers lies in their decision to separate the public and private spheres-and to keep Church and State firmly divided. This was not ,it should be noted, because they regarded the State to be more important than the Church, but rather because they thought that government was unworthy of interfering with religious faith and private conscience." I have to admit that a true and fair read and understanding of such complicated issues as the " American Polity" is no small undertaking for one with clownish tendencies.I am better suited for juggling balls than complex ideas...
