"The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or
worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full
and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretence,
infringed.'' - James Madison (Original wording of the First Amendment; Annals
of Congress 434 (June 8, 1789).)
