called wall build peers. his book was rewritten and reissued under a new name. we have misinterpreted the founding fathers, for example, thomas jefferson viewed the separation of church and state as one directional. meaning to protect religion from government but not to protect government from being co-mingled with religion. that is, of course, completely untrue. let s turn to the senior policy analyst at americans united for separation of church and state, rob boston. thanks for having me on. we glanced other this person beck will be featuring, david barton. tell us more about him and this group of his, the wall builders? the best way to describe david barton is he is to history what creationists are to science. against all available evidence barton argues the united states wases founded by the framers to a christian nation. they forgot to mention that in the constitution. that s an inconvenient detail.
