This book follows the campaign to disestablish religion in Virginia from 1776 to 1786, when Thomas Jefferson s bill to establish religious freedom was passed. This volume seeks to tell the story of Jefferson and James Madison s collaboration with Virginia s religious dissenters; in doing so, Neill works to understand why religion was disestablished in Virginia. Neill argues that despite their religious differences these unlikely allies shared a basic understanding of what religious freedom meant and how best to secure it: by severing the ties between church and state.
