John Adams on Freedom of Religion

"It is the duty of all men in society, publicly, and
at stated seasons, to worship the SUPREME BEING, the
great Creator and Preserver of the universe. And no
subject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained, in his
person, liberty, or estate, for worshipping GOD in the
manner most agreeable to the dictates of his own
conscience; or for his religious profession or
sentiments; provided he doth not disturb the public
peace, or obstruct others in their religious worship."

-- John Adams (Thoughts on Government, 1776)
