Separation of the church and state

Today we watched another episode of  "God in America." It was about how Baptists came to Virginia and started to convert Anglicans into Baptists. The Anglicans didn't like the fact that Baptists were trying convert the Anglicans into Baptists and so the Government started to send people who were preaching without a license to jail. But you couldn't get a license if you were preaching for the Anglicans. Jeremiah Moore was sent to jail because he sacrificed everything for his religion. From the jail cell he would preach to people outside his window cell. The Baptist people went to look for Thomas Jefferson and he compromised with them. He said he would help him because he believed that the government should stay out of peoples religion. Thomas Jefferson then began writing a new bill about religion. When they passed the bill, the congress didn't say that it was certain that religion was going to be free. Then there was another man who went to a meeting in the woods. He wasn't expecting a lot of people there but there was 20,000 people. He was just going to go observe and watch if what he had heard was true. After when he got there, he heard people preaching and he fainted. He said that he felt god in him.
