There is nothing accurate in the quote.

James Madison would never claim the 10 Commandments were integral to US law — because they weren't.

This is  Christian-nationalist lie. The Constitution purposely excludes all mentions of Christianity and all other religious. We have a secular government, intentionally.

I'm stunned by (1) how many Christians bald-face lie to rally support for the nonsense the United States is a Christian nation and (2) the myriad upon myriad people who are so uninformed of US history and gullible that they absorb and believe this false history by osmosis. No skepticism at all.

A liar who intended to manipulate people into believing the United States is a Christian nation.

It's not a great quote. It's a manipulative lie to trick people into thinking the United States is a Christian nation, that Christians and Christianity have primacy in society, and that there is no barrier between (certain) Christians' religious proscriptions and law.

It is a horrendous quote because it perverts Madison into someone he was not. Madison NEVER exalted the 10 commandments in any of his writings. He was meticulous about the wall of separation between church and state.

You insist you want a negative proved. That's unrealistic. The burden is on David Barton (known liar about US history) to document where he found this quote, which appeared in one of his dirty-trickster books. And this he did not do.

This is one of many lies told by Christian nationalists.

Those aren't the 10 Commandments. They're the Bill of Rights.

HINT: Roman numerals are used. Those did not exist when Mosaic law was recorded.

HINT 2: We know this because the architect of the Supreme Court building kept scrupulous notes about every sculpture, frieze, column, etc.
