Quote by Lyndon B. Johnson

The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.

The separation of church and state is a source of strength,

Summary

This quote suggests that while the separation of church and state is essential for a strong society, it does not mean there should be a separation between religious beliefs and individuals in positions of power. The conscience or moral compass of the nation does not demand a complete disconnection between people in positions of authority and their faith in a higher power. In other words, religious beliefs can coexist with individuals holding positions in the government, as long as the principles of the separation of church and state are upheld.

What persuades men and women to mistake each other from time

What persuades men and women to mistake each other from time to time for gods or vermin is ideology. One can understand well enough how human beings may struggle and murder for good material reasons -- reasons connected, for instance, with their physical survival. It is much harder to grasp how they may come to do so in the name of something as apparently abstract as ideas. Yet ideas are what men and women live by, and will occasionally die for.
