The Founding Fathers on
Religious Liberty |
|
“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or
too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity and freedom of worship here.” – Patrick Henry |
|
“To obtain religious as well as civil
liberty, I entered zealously into the Revolution.… God grant that this religious liberty may be preserved in these States, to the end of time, and that all who believe in the religion of Christ may practice the leading principle of charity, the basis of every virtue.” – Charles Carroll |
