The state is no judge of religious truth
It must be mute on such matters
History, alone, gives us the proof
To civic peace it has been disastrous
Each man must tend to his own conscience
Coming to know for himself what is right
Learning to self-govern and to be cautious
Of what puffs itself up to take freedom and light
Religion is that transcendent link
To God and community
That each might spiritually drink
Moral fiber for unity

Is religion special?
