If you like American History, Mr. MichaelH, it's interesting to delve into Jefferson's efforts to relax the Anglican hold on political power in Virginia. They were an intolerant bunch and tax-happy, to be sure. The common notion of the "separation" of church and state seems to have its roots in that endeavor.
