Good Words
“If I could conceive that the general government might ever be so administered as to render the liberty of conscience insecure, I beg you will be persuaded, that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious persecution.”
~George Washington (letter to the United Baptist Chamber of Virginia, May 1789)

I'm curious M, have you ever voted for a non-Christian? Would you vote for an agnostic/atheist?
Of course if you rephrase it such:
“If I could conceive that the general government might ever be so administered as to render liberty insecure, I beg you will be persuaded, that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of tyranny, and every species of persecution.”
And it is said by somebody who Mark considers 'the right' then Mark would call the statement an example of 'pathological hatred of government'.
Mark,

How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.
— Luke 6:42
