The central premise of any religion is the concept of “an absolute truth that does not allow for contradiction.” From the discovery of an absolute and refutable truth comes the dictates for prostylization, the need to bring everyone into the truth. Over and over again we see the history of the length to which religion will stamp out any deviation from the truth stated by that religion.
This brings us to the question of the Bill of Rights that guarantees every individual certain inalienable rights. The right to voice their opinion, to think their opinion, the right to be free from being forced to accept any other person’s truth and to do so without the bayonet of the state standing ready to force them to submit to another’s truth.
Do you think the Bill of Rights and concept of Freedom can coexist with religion?
