About this listen
Most Americans assume the founders intended a rigid wall between church and state. In fact, many Christians even consider it a great blessing.
Yet the historical record tells a more complicated and far more interesting story.
In this episode, we examine how the Establishment Clause was originally understood, why the founders opposed state churches while wholesale embracing religion in public life, and how modern interpretations, notably from 20th Century Supreme Court decisions, diverged sharply from those assumptions.
