James Madison and Thomas Jefferson shaped American views on religious freedom more than any other.
Recent Supreme Court decisions have rejected separationist approach to church-state matters.
Steven Green : Jefferson and Madison worked throughout their lives to advance religious freedom.
Green: Both men were committed to advancing religious freedom because they saw it as deeply entwined with freedom of inquiry and conscience.
