"Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination".

@chuckfrasher That's great, but make a video. The whole point is a video.

1 - ''B. The true historic meaning of “religion” excludes paganism and witchcraft''

From Websters 1828 Online Dictionary:

religion

4. Any system of faith and worship. In this sense, religion comprehends the belief and worship of pagans and Mohammedans, as well as of christians; any religion consisting in the belief of a superior power or powers governing the world, and in the worship of such power or powers.

[BlueFireWitch]

This is a quote from Webster's 1828 about religion. n. relij'on. [L. religio, from religo, to bind anew; re and ligo, to bind. This word seems originally to have signified an oath or vow to the gods, or the obligation of such an oath or vow, which was held very sacred by the Romans.]

[vaasnaad]

In the VOLUMINOUS writings of Thomas Jefferson, chief architect of this freedom, he SPECIFICALLY mentions polytheism as being protected. That pretty much guts every single one of their arguments.
