…before is really, really goofy and it is crazy that we award the first person who happens to legally file such ideas a nearly 2 decade monopoly on them. It wasn't supposed to be like this.

The concept of “separation of church and state” is much broader, and comes from the writings of Thomas Jefferson—who admired revolutionary France and its secularism.

……这项法案，以便把我们所有农场、工厂和商铺的管理权交给州长和理事会。”——托马斯·杰斐逊致约瑟夫·卡贝尔的信，1816年2月2日，转载于《托马斯·杰斐逊政治文选》（1955年），第98页，以及《托马斯·杰斐逊文集》（纪念版，1904年）第14卷，第420-21页。换句话说，让政府——尤其是幅员辽阔的政府……一样荒谬。

……像原本预期的那样带来便利，反而会极其可怕地剥夺这些便利，并通过垄断把我们挤出对已有物品的使用。”——致奥利弗·埃文斯的信（1814年1月16日）；发表于《托马斯·杰斐逊文集》（1905年）第13卷，第66页。
