In this episode:

• I simply read two documents from Thomas Jefferson.

1. Statute of Religious Freedom
2. Notes on the State of Virginia (Chapter: Religion)

There’s no discussion this time, just reading. Tim and Jake will be back with me next week with an episode on blasphemy laws, freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

There will be more of these readings in the future.  So even if you don’t like religious discussion check back occasionally if you want to know what the founding fathers had to say about the Freedom of Religion, The Freedom From Religion and the Freedom of Speech.
