Unlike Islam, it repudiates official compulsion in religion. For instance:<br /><br />"We the General Assembly of Virginia do enact that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer, on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities."<br /><br />This obviously underlies the First Amendment Establishment and Free Exercise clauses. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-91926386543361357962015-09-06T16:43:08.363-04:002015-09-06T16:43:08.363-04:00wakawakwaka aka Tony Jiang: Simon Fraser Universit...wakawakwaka aka Tony Jiang: Simon Fraser University student by day, troll extraordinaire by night.Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655829667033554000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-48657399689382702252015-09-06T15:25:29.821-04:002015-09-06T15:25:29.821-04:00what ironic comments Patrick! i bet you believe Ob...what ironic comments Patrick! i bet you believe Obama is born in Kenya too right?wakawakwakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264808613704582683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-84784049785597482592015-09-06T15:24:32.136-04:002015-09-06T15:24:32.136-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.wakawakwakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264808613704582683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-31111981031551109422015-09-04T16:23:19.908-04:002015-09-04T16:23:19.908-04:00Steve, Thanks for the post.
