Rev. David Tokarz - A Christian even an Atheist could love.
Link

"Any external display of personal religious belief within the confines of public exercise of law is simply wrong in our country," he wrote. "Choosing one eliminates others. When prayer in schools is advocated, for example, how many people seriously think this will include the Catholic 'Hail, Mary' or the Jewish 'Shema, Yisrael,' or the Muslim Arabic chant, 'God is most great'? Making religious issues private protects all of us in public."

1. This is a sensible Christian.
What rabid religious people don't realize, is that the separation of Church and State protects them from other rabid religious zealots, who would rather have their religion and gods prevail to the exclusion of all others.
