Roger Williams: separation of Church and State

[TheKilgoretrout]

Thanks for the video. More Americans need to know about Roger Williams and his proposing the separation of the Church and State long before Thomas Jefferson

@TheKilgoretrout : Agreed, they also need to know about the sort of ubiquitous religious intolerance in Massachusetts which led Williams to settle in Rhode Island. In fact, Roger Williams was banished to England by the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his beliefs in separation of church and state and freedom of religion!! That should give people an idea of the sort of religious wackos that existed at the time.
