freedom-of-religion

There is only one reason to be passionate about a lack of faith__nd that is fear,_ said Caeden quietly. __ear that you are wrong. An innate need for others to share your opinion, so that you can be less afraid._ He shook his head. __ do not feel the need to argue, to cajole, to threaten or accuse. If others wish to believe differently, that is no business of mine. I simply do not think that there are gods.

Of all the religions in the world, perhaps the religion of liberty is the only faith capable of purity.

When we hide discrimination under the guise of 'religious freedom,' we make a mockery of human rights.

Ever since the Enlightenment era in the 17th and 18th Centuries__hich, among other things, gave birth to the U.S. Constitution and the de facto motto E Pluribus Unum (out of the many, one)__nterfaith tolerance has been sown into the fabric of Western society. The rules of one religion are not made into law for all citizens because of a simple social agreement. For you to believe what you want, you must allow me to do the same, even if we disagree.

Blind faith in belief-system, ideologies, doctrine or dogma can never set us free. Only the knowledge of truth can liberate us from the slavery of doctrine, dogmas, blind faiths and religious sects.

There is no need for us all to be alike and think the same way, neither do we need a common enemy to force us to come together and reach out to each other. If we allow ourselves and everyone else the freedom to fully individuate as spiritual beings in human form, there will be no need for us to be forced by worldly circumstances to take hands and stand together. Our souls will automatically want to flock together, like moths to the flame of our shared Divinity, yet each with wings covered in the glimmering colors and unique patterns of our individual human expression.

We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

Both David Koresh and Timothy McVeigh fell in the fight for freedom, the right of the Americans to be left alone.

Freedom is an expensive gift always worth fighting for. Even if it costs us!

Without Thomas Jefferson and his Declaration of Independence, there would have been no American revolution that announced universal principles of liberty. Without his participation by the side of the unforgettable Marquis de Lafayette, there would have been no French proclamation of The Rights of Man. Without his brilliant negotiation of the Louisiana treaty, there would be no United States of America. Without Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, there would have been no Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom, and no basis for the most precious clause of our most prized element of our imperishable Bill of Rights - the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

There are corrupted Muslims who have become Christians, and corrupted Christians who have become Muslims. They called it freedom of religion.

When there is liberty, you expect a higher degree of freedom and not human rights abuse.

What does religious freedom mean if we would use it as a cover for hate and privilege?
