“Forcing religious faith out of a nation’s public square and out of a country’s public debates does not serve democracy… What it does do is impose a kind of unofficial state atheism. To put it another way, if we ban Christian Churches or other religious communities from taking an active role in our nation’s civic life, we’re really just enforcing a new kind of state-sponsored intolerance — a religion without God.” (Archbishop Chaput)
