"Like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing in our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom." Sen. Barry Goldwater, 16 Sep. 1981. nytimes.com/1981/09/16/us/…
"I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in ''A,'' ''B,'' ''C'' and ''D.'' Just who do they think they are?"—ibid
"We have succeeded for 205 years in keeping the affairs of state separate from the uncompromising idealism of religious groups and we mustn't stop now."—ibid
"To retreat from that separation would violate the principles of conservatism and the values upon which the framers built this democratic republic."—ibid. Barry Goldwater, a devout man, but aware of the dangers of absolutists of any stripe.
