  6. See the 1st 5 pages of the chapter "Did Prayer Save the Constitutional Convention" in the book <span>Liars For Jesus</span> by Chris Rodda. Chris debunks this "Christian Nation" myth.

    Also, the <span>Liars For Jesus</span> chapter "James Madison's Detached Memoranda" shows Madison's view about separation.  He didn't want paid chaplains in the military nor did he want proclamations of days of prayer.
