James Madison and the Importance of Religion in the Public Arena

Madison’s religious views and activities are numerous, as are his writings on religion. They are at times self-contradictory, and his statements about religion are such that opposing positions can each invoke Madison as its authority. An understanding of Madison’s religious views is complicated by the fact that his early actions were at direct variance with his later opinions. Consider six examples of his early actions.

Wrong subforum. This should go under History. I also suggest it be merged with the other thread that merged the handful of other similar-themed Madison topics Galileo started.

No, this person is using history to argue about currents events via the authority of the great James Madison.

That's an inaccurate description of the article you linked in the OP. The nearest thing to a current event mentioned in the article is this sentence, "By 1867, the church in the Capitol had become the largest church in Washington, and the largest Protestant church in America. "

Madison's political positions are a subject of history. Whether or not Madison favored a wall of separation between church and state is a subject of history.

You're the one who keeps attempting to apply Madison's political positions to current events.
