Boundary County Human Rights Task Force: Celebrating a diversity of faiths; fostering a culture of respect

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, written by James Madison in 1789, enshrined into law both freedom of religion and freedom from religion. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” This was a rejection of the British system, which maintained an official Church of England and limited the political rights of non-members. Thomas Jefferson hailed the First Amendment as “a wall of separation between Church & State.”
