@66.190.249.59:, I'm not sure it makes sense to call this an edit war, first of all. This is clearly a disagreement about what belongs in this article. The article is about a partisan organization, and therefore should include links and crosslinks to criticisms and praises from other people as per consensus in WP:RSes. Things like the link to the Freedom from Religion Foundation make sense, as AUSCS and FFRF often collaborate. Also, links to the Christian Right and Left articles make sense because this organization is widely seen as the Christian Left rebuking the Christian Right. it's staffed by prominent Christian religious individuals who protest the lack of separation of Church and State in the Religious Right. It's not NPOV to include both article links...--Shibbolethink ^{(♔ ♕)} 18:57, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing the label for now until there's some kind of consensus. Suomi13 (talk) 02:05, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a pretty clear statement from a prestige reference book published by Oxford in 2017:

"in the mid-20th century, the rhetoric of separation was revived and ultimately constitutionalized by anti-Catholic elites, such as...Protestants and other Americans United for the Separation of Church and State...who feared the influence and wealth of the Catholic Church and perceived parochial education as a threat to public schools and democratic values." from Daniel L. Dreisbach, "The Meaning of the Separation of Church and State" in Derek H. Davis, ed. (2017). The Oxford Handbook of Church and State in the United States. Oxford University Press. p. 219. {{cite book}}: |author= has generic name (help) click on https://books.google.com/books?id=WX2LcraS1EgC&pg=PA219 for the full page. on the author see Daniel Dreisbach -- Rjensen (talk) 04:34, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
