The Way We Live

The way we live is only self-evident to us. Ask our pilgrim fathers or just about anyone else before the 19th century if it is in the best interest of freedom to separate church and state, and they will probably look at you as if you just arrived from a distant star. Christopher Dawson pointed out, in the mid 20th century, that "it is no exaggeration to say that all civilizations have always been religious."
