Shallow thinkers tend to replace original intent

I find a lot of intent to restrict government power, protect religious freedom and keep the government from becoming the religious power the Framers feared. That's exactly why I read it that way.

The key to understanding your posts can be found in the first two words of the above sentence; subjectivity rules your private world, not objectivity. To say that the Framers feared a religious power is to reveal a vast ignorance of both American history and English history.
