That is the ultimate step. is it not? This is the first step. To return to White: 0 0 0 migrants began the building of a new society in a new world. and out of this bitterness they distilled. though not without a struggle. that first great landmark in Americas unique civilization. that first of the creative American compromises that was to set America apart from the old world: freedom of worship. the decision that government should have no right to make inquiry into the faith of its citizens and that the state should remain forever divorced from any religious establishment. Never in civilization. since the earliest ziggurats and temples went up in the mudwalled villages of pre. historic Mesopotamia. had there been any state that left each individual to find his way to God without the guidance of the state. In retrospect. this is probably the greatest historic decision enshrined in the American Constitution.
