Howard Zinn Quote
The American Revolution is sometimes said to have brought about the separation of church and state. The northern states made such declarations, but after 1776 they adopted taxes that forced everyone to support Christian teachings. William G. McLoughlin, quoting Supreme Court Justice David Brewer in 1892 that this is a Christian nation, says of the separation of church and state in the Revolution that it was neither conceived of nor carried out. . . . Far from being left to itself, religion was imbedded into every aspect and institution of American life.
