Susan B. Anthony, a lifelong Quaker, included Mormons, Catholics, Christians, Jews and atheists in her movement. But she firmly believed that religion had no place in politics. "I dislike those who know so well what God wants them to do," she said, "because I notice it always coincides with their own desires."
Quoted in a nice piece in the Post about the readiness of political leaders and groups to claim "the legacy" of a historical figure without knowing a darn thing about what that person actually believed.
