Free to Believe (or not): The Story of Religious Freedom in the US

0/5 ( ratings)

Today we think of freedom of religion as a basic human right. It wasn't always so. George Washington worried that if leaders didn't tell citizens what to believe they would fall into immorality. John Adams didn't agree, he said, “Congress shall never meddle with religion other than to say their own prayers and to give thanks once a year.” This book tells the story of how we reconciled those views and got a Constitution that gives us what Thomas Jefferson called freedom of conscience: the right to worship as we wish.

Pages: 198
