The manifest object of the men who framed the institutions of this country, was to have a State without religion and a Church without politics—that is to say, they meant that one should never be used as an engine for the purposes of the other.... For that reason they built up a wall of complete and perfect partition between the two.

[Referring to Thaddeus Stevens:] His mind was a howling wilderness, so far as his sense of obligation to God was concerned.
