Quote from : Letters and Other Writings of James Madison Volume 3 Book

It may not be easy, in every possible case, to trace the line of separation between the rights of religion and the Civil authority with such distinctness as to avoid collisions and doubts on unessential points. The tendency to usurpation on one side or the other, or to a corrupting coalition or alliance between them, , beyond the necessity of preserving public order, and protecting each sect agst. trespasses on its legal rights by others.
