not all Republicans, just those who want to use tax dollars to for the
support of religious schools or have prayers in public schools; or
posting religious statements on public property. these are well known
positions of the present republican party; these are positions that
jefferson wuld surely oppose. Jefferson considered that religious
freedom required a wall of separation between church and state; the
present Republican party opposes such a wall.

Mr. Finkleman also made a very sweeping and preposterous statement that conservatives/Republicans are against religious freedom in the US today.
