The book then culminates in an examination of the history and the basis for the guarantees of religious freedoms in the United States Constitution, critiquing the oft-quoted positions of Thomas Jefferson in that regard, and argues that the phrase separation of church and state has been misused and misapplied by the United States Supreme Court so as to actually violate freedom of religion.
