Is this a story the mainstream media has forgotten about? Or, has it merely become buried under other stories, such as the drug war raging in Mexico, and our debate over immigration policy? Or, even, is it a myth?

Anyone heard of this topic before?

"When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not care to support it, so that its professors are obliged to call for the help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one."

[Ben Franklin, _Poor Richard's Almanac_, 1754 (Works, Volume XIII)]
