Give me names and proof of this evidence you seem to pull. I want names of our founding fathers who ever said such words. It said speration of church and state. They dint want the state to bud into religous groups telling them how they can practice. Even tho is is now used the other way it still doesnt work. Look at Huckabee. He is devote in his faith and it makes part of his personality up. In return it will play on his judgment.
In the way you say organization. We do organize in a group. There are some who may want to see the country in their religous views but what makes them so different than some social democrat that want the country run in thier views.
A god that condenes acts of rape, genocide and murder is not good and just, your god is not a god I believe in

"Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every
noble enterprise."
-letter to Wm. Bradford, April 1, 1774
"Experience witnesseth that ecclesiastical establishments, instead of maintaining the purity and efficacy of religion, have had a contrary operation. During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution."
- "A Memorial and Remonstrance", 1785
John Adams
"As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation. But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed?"
-letter to F.A. Van der Kamp, Dec. 27, 1816
"I almost shudder at the thought of alluding to the most fatal example of the abuses of grief which the history of mankind has preserved-- the Cross. Consider what calamities that engine of grief has produced!"
-letter to Thomas Jefferson
"The priesthood have, in all ancient nations, nearly monopolized learning. And ever since the Reformation, when or where has existed a Protestant or dissenting sect who would tolerate A FREE INQUIRY? The blackest billingsgate, the most ungentlemanly insolence, the most yahooish brutality, is patiently endured, countenanced, propagated, and applauded. But touch a solemn truth in collision with a dogma of a sect, though capable of the clearest proof, and you will find you have disturbed a nest, and the hornets will swarm about your eyes and hand, and fly into your face and eyes."
- letter to John Taylor
I can post more if you'd like, most were deist and had no love for the judeo christian religious groups
