FFRF quotes Reagan in Cleveland message to GOP convention

[rug]

June 27, 2016

The Freedom From Religion Foundation and its Cleveland chapter are mounting an impressive 14-by-48-foot message to the Republican National Convention: Keep church and state separate.

That message on a highway billboard comes from an unexpected source: President Ronald Reagan. "We establish no religion in this country . . . Church and state are, and must remain, separate," he said in the quote featured on the billboard.

The board is going up this week in Cleveland on Interstate Highway 71 north of 480 and will remain up for a month. FFRF is a state/church watchdog group with 24,000 nonreligious members nationwide, including more than 600 in Ohio.

Reagan made the remarks in a speech on Oct. 26, 1984, to the Temple Hillel leaders in Valley Stream, N.Y.

I wonder if they would endorse republicans who agree with them, regardless of the rest of the platform.

"Keep religion out of government and government out of business!"

As always.

Love Dan Barker, Annie Laurie Gaylor, and FFRF.
