Now 58, Ahmanson is recognized as one of the nation's leading evangelical Christians and one of conservatism's most reliable supporters, though he is hardly a Republican talking-point man.
He follows his own script and has parted company with social conservatives before.
He thinks those who argue for school prayer, for instance, are confusing the moral with the religious.
Morality is how we relate to one another, he says.
Religion is how we relate to God -- "and it's not the government's business."
Bold emphasis mine
Now, this is a man who understands what real religious freedom is about.
Now all he has to do it reconcile this statement with other Conservative Christian statements in having ANY government institution (including public schools) mandating prayer by law.
