Roger Williams - Patriot

I found this over at a place called The Shepherd's Staff, and found it interesting and informational. You may read the whole article at that location.

"This principle of religious liberty, which so possessed the soul of Roger Williams, would find it's full expression in the words found in the Constitution of the United States of America:"No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."and"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."It was not always so in the New World. After Roger Williams it was and it remains so to this day. He is truly the father of the American dream of a genuinely free nation in which all are on an equal footing before God and the law without regard for their religious views. I am grateful to stand in the tradition of such an outstanding Christian."
