“I have often expressed my sentiments, that every man, conducting himself as a good citizen, and being accountable to God alone for his religious opinions, ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience.”George Washington — The Writings of George Washington: Being His Correspondence, Addresses, Messages, and Other Papers, Official and Private (1838)
