The quote is from Rufus Choate, whose deep enmeshment in the atheist far left can be viewed in his Wiki bio. The man could recite large chunks of the Bible and Pilgrims Progress by heart by the age of six. But he was an American, and didn't regard the civic sphere as a church. For that, he is now suspect.
