“Every man is free to embrace
and profess that religion which,
guided by the light of reason,
he considers to be true.”
—Pope Pius IX, Condemned proposition,
Syllabus of Errors, 1867.


“The day that this country ceases
to be free for irreligion it will cease to be free for
religion – except for the sect that can win
political power.”—Robert H. Jackson,
Zorach v. Clauson, 343 U.S. 306 (1952).
