Barry Lynn is a committed Christian, an ordained pastor, and the nation’s leading proponent for the separation of religion from government. For nearly 20 years, he has served as the executive director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, where his battles have included keeping official prayer out of public schools, and political endorsements far from pastors’ pulpits. Lynn, 61, sat down with The Washington Examiner to share his principles and the faith that supports them.

Do you consider yourself to be of a specific faith?
