Ideas have consequences. In the end, what we believe ought to be apparent in the way we live and behave. I’ll be honest with you; most parents couldn’t care less what you teach their kids as long as you address the behavior issues. But if you make behavior your focus, you’ll likely fail in an...

One purpose of the present language [on Article VI, Clause 3 on no religious tests] is to avoid a national church like the Church of England.
