In fact, one of the best arguments for strict church-state separation comes from a theologically conservative pastor, Jimi Joban of Terra Nova Faith Community (here's its Facebook page ) in Las Vegas, Nev. He's a graduate of the fundamentalist Liberty University—where founder Jerry Falwell proudly embraced the "fundamentalist" label—and contributes to the political blog The Briefing.
A friend sent me a link to an article Joban wrote, "The Conservative Case for Separation of Church and State," and it's one of the best arguments I've read. Ever.
It's posted on the RD Magazine (short for "Religion Dispatches") website. It's well worth your time. Not only to read, but to ponder.
