Celebrate our Godless Constitution

This is a paid ad from this morning's Seattle Times sponsored by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
I wish I could make it big enough to read on this blog post.  Check it out here.

Although I was surprised to see the ad, I'm glad I did.  I believe the concept of separation of church and state is always at risk.  We need to be vigilant and brave.  Religious people can become religious zealots.  

Benjamin Franklin
"When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it, so that professors are obliged to call for the help of the civil power, 'tis a sign , I apprehend, of its being a bad one."

Thomas Jefferson
"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."
