I could have given my own sect the preference and made everybody a Presbyterian without any trouble, but that would have been to affront a law of human nature: spiritual wants and instincts are as various in the human family as are physical appetites, complexions, and features, and a man is only at his best, morally, when he is equipped with the religious garment whose color and shape and size most nicely accommodate themselves to the spiritual complexion, angularities, and stature of the individual who wears it.
Mark Twain (1835–1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 10 “Beginnings of Civilization”More about this quote: wist.info/twain-mark/85582/

For years, travelers passing through Texas’s airports have had access to small washing stations for a ritual called #wudu, in which #Muslims clean their hands, arms, head & feet before the 5 daily #prayers.
Such facilities have become more common in states with large #Muslim populations, including #Texas, where travelers & others pop in & out of washing stations at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport.#law #WhiteChristianNationalism #Islamophobia #US #Constitution #ReligiousFreedom

Faith and the Founding: The Religious Roots of the Original Thirteen Colonies
As America celebrates 250 years of independence, it's worth looking beyond the Declaration of Independence to the diverse religious foundations of the original thirteen colonies. Contrary to popular belief, not every colony was founded for religious freedom. Some sought wealth, others provided refuge for persecuted believers, and together they shaped the ideas of faith, liberty, and government that continue to influence our nation today. -

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle
No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of a man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his; he will reign, and believe there, by the grace of God alone!
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Lecture (1840-05-15), “The Hero as Priest,” Home House, Portman Square, LondonMore about this quote: wist.info/carlyle-thomas/6667/

I am happy to find myself perfectly agreed with you, that we should begin by setting conscience free. When all men of all religions consistent with morals and property, shall enjoy equal liberty, property, or rather security of property, and an equal chance for honor and power, and when government shall be considered as having in it nothing more mysterious or divine than other arts or sciences, we may expect that improvements will be made in the human character and the state of society.
John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)

#EqualProtectionoftheLaw? #FreeSpeech? #ReligiousFreedom? These rights don't exist for non-Christians, because despite the Constitution's explicit exclusion of the establishment of religion, religious freedoms have come to override every other constitutional right.
