SERIOUS DANGERS BEFORE THE
AMERICAN SHIP OF STATE
To the Madison Journal:

To the Madison Journal:
One of the greatest of our times is
the growing demand for religious leg
islation. This demand on the part OF
religious organizations is becoming
more and more insistent, and in some
instances the civil authorities are
yielding to it. The foundation pillars
of civil and religious liberty are thus
being assailed by their most relent-
less foes.
Religious organizations that are
clamoring for governmental rccogni-
ton of their peculiar dOgmas, are
setting their sails to catch every wirI
that blows. But they are working il;
the dark. under cover. camoufla gino.
their real motives. They are adopt
ing the U-boat method in attacking
the Ship of State.
OIvn nDerJy and religious liberty
stand or fall together. No nation can
long maintain one without the other.
make the proposition complete. While
we are striving to make the world
safe for political democracy, we must
not forget to save the world from
religious autocracy. A religious
tyranny of the majority, confederated
for the purpose of controlling politi-
cal institutions and expressing the
minority, is not whit better than a
religious autocracy of a few which
menaces the rights of the majority.
Alliances of religion and politics
are wrong in principle, and always
dangerous to the cause of civil and
religious liberty. The results of such
a combination can only be religious
and civil despotism. A union of re-
ligion with the civil government is in
compatible with the teaching of the
New Testament. The medieval Gus
tom of uniting the church and the
state in so called Christian nations. is
not an outgrowth of true Christian
principles, but is practice borrowed
from pagan nations, whose prevailing
religion were always fostered by. or
perhaps we would better say, indenti-
fed with the civil governments.
The present tendency toward at
tempting to make people righteous
and religious through the establish
ment of religious dogmas by civil
authority is danger signal at which
we should take alarm. Sunday laws
and universal compulsory Sunday
observance, are an entering wedge,
opening the gates for a flood of re-
ligious legislation to follow in its
wake. 1t is high time that a strong
voice of protest be raised against
ecclesiastical encroachments upon our
free institutions, and the conscience of
the individual. A complete divorce
ment of the church from the state is
in harmony with Christ's teachings,
and is the only sure basis of domes-
tic peace and religious freedom. Let
us keep the church and state eternally
separate, that truth, justice and
liberty may prevail, and that tran
quillity and happiness may be pro-
NOTED and more firmly established.
