Church and State in the United States ; Or, The American Idea of Religious Liberty and Its Practical Effects: With Official Documents Quotes

“The United States furnishes the first example in history of a government deliberately depriving itself of all legislative control of religion.”

“Freedom of religion is one of the greatest gifts of God to man, without distinction of race and color. He is the author and lord of conscience, and no power on earth has a right to stand between God and the conscience.”
