“Religion and liberty are inseparable. Religion is voluntary, and cannot, and ought not to be forced. This is a fundamental article of the American creed, without distinction of sect or party. Liberty, both civil and religious, is an American instinct. Such liberty is impossible on the basis of a union of church and state, where the one of necessity restricts or controls the other. It requires a friendly separation, where each power is entirely independent in its own sphere.” StatesChurchReligiousPartyLibertyImpossibleAtheismOughtBasesIndependentFundamentalsUnionsInstinctSeparationDistinctionFriendlyArticlesSpheresCreedsChurch And StateInseparableSects Author:Philip Schaff
