Op Eds On Church-State

Emotions on issues of church and state run high this time of year. I have tried not to fill Religion Clause with endless links to op-ed pieces, even though ones on-topic appear in newspapers daily. However, occassionally it is worth pointing to examples that are particularly well-written. Here are two from this past weekend's papers. One is from Cynthia Tucker, editorial page editor for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, titled Campaign For Religious State Is No Blessing. The second from Saturday's Toledo, Ohio Blade by Rabbi Barry Leff is titled Yes, Virginia, It Really Is A Christmas Tree.
