H. J Eckenrode quotes
-
“Separation of church and state in Virginia, instead of weakening Christianity, as the conservatives of the Revolution had feared, really aided it in securing a power over men far greater than it had known in the past.”
-- H. J Eckenrode -
“The union of church and state put the church under a political control... The church was thoroughly subordinated to the state.”
-- H. J Eckenrode -
“The most popular argument in all these papers was the assertion ... that Christianity had grown and prospered in spite of the opposition of the State.”
-- H. J Eckenrode
