Quote:In an op-ed for the Detroit Free Press on Thursday, historian and author John Ragosta argued that no religious displays belonged on government land.
“I hope most Michiganders find placement of a Satanist display in a government building offensive, but it is offensive for the same reason that a crèche display on government property is offensive — government has no business promoting or endorsing, even indirectly, religion,” he explained. “That’s the First Amendment’s separation of church and state. (And I know that those words are not expressly in the amendment, but history demonstrates that the principle is central because, as 18th-Century evangelicals recognized, mixing the two corrupts both.)”
