Please only answer if you have solid evidence or knowledge, not just because you disagree. -"Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect." -James Madison -"History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes." -Thomas Jefferson to Alexander Von Humboldt

I've heard them widely quoted, and neither would surprise me considering the religious beliefs of both men, which were outside the orthodoxy to say the least.
