  5. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    It is, I am afraid, true that frequently various religious groups endeavor to exert pressures and control over different legislative and educational fields. It is the job of all of us to be alert for such infringement of our prerogatives and prevent any such attempts from being successful. Like all our freedoms, this freedom from religious-group pressure must be constantly defended.

  9. Persecution of the Latter-day Saints

    In the 1830s and 1840s, Latter-day Saints faced severe hostility in Missouri and Illinois amid religious, economic, and political conflict. Missouri’s governor ordered them treated as enemies and “exterminated or driven from the state”; thousands fled to Illinois. Tensions later engulfed Nauvoo. In 1844 an armed mob stormed Carthage Jail and killed Joseph and Hyrum Smith. Violence continued, helping drive the Saints’ mass departure west. #religiousfreedom

  10. A quotation from Henry Commager

    Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

  14. 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, London

    - Roll back the rights of #LGBTQ+ people.
    - End #marriage #equality.
    - Redefine #religiousfreedom as an unrestricted license to #discriminate.
