Description
In what appears now to be a bit of theological irony, ... Thomas Jefferson rooted his ideas about [the] doctrine [of separation between church and state not in secularism but] in the religious belief "that Almighty God has created the mind free ... [and, therefore] the Holy Author ... chose not to propagate [religion] by coercion ... as was in his Almighty power to do...." This Court makes no such assertions about the ultimate source of the law it must interpret. Just as the Court asserts no theological expertise in this matter, the Court is also not an expert in the field of prisoner rehabilitation. (1) --Americans United for Separation of Church & State v.
