"The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders’ political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs. Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal government’s hostility to religion. "

I have seen this quote attributed to Ron Paul many times on the internet. I cannot find a direct link to Ron Paul about it.

Is it a quote from Ron Paul?

If not, were did it originate as attributed to Paul, if anyone knows.

If it is, is Ron Paul really ignorant of the constitution to such a degree. Has he changed his mind nowadays?
