Apparently Jefferson was paraphrasing Roger Williams. That's not mentioned a lot. It's interesting considering William's circumstances.

"separation of church and state" is also the phrase used in Article 52 of the Constitution of the former Soviet Union. But let's not worry too much. (sarcasm) After all, a few Supreme Court justices believe they should start incorporating international perspectives into the Court's decisions.
