The idea of a wall of separation between church and state gained constitutional status as a result of the case of Reynolds vs. The United States, 1878. To wit, Reynolds v. United States - Wikipedia
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
