From "Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom"

"The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God. The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg... Reason and free enquiry are the only effectual agents against error." - T. Jefferson

I'd bet Jefferson would take that back after watching one news cast from 2017. Legs are broken, loved ones drowned in cages, stabbed to death, run over by vehicles of one kind or another, flown into the world trade centers, beheaded, shot, blown up or burned alive. And according to Pew Research, US pockets are picked each year when over 16 billion is spent in counter terror efforts.
