Religious Liberty

See also: Freedom of religion and Separation of church and state

"Seventh-day Adventists believe that freedom of religion is a basic human right." The Adventist church has been active for over 100 years advocating for freedom of religion for all people, regardless of faith. In 1893 its leaders founded the International Religious Liberty Association, which is universal and non-sectarian. The Seventh-day Adventist Church State Council serves to protect religious groups from legislation that may affect their religious practices.

The church publishes the magazine Liberty.

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or liberty:

    Never for a moment have I had one doubt about my religious beliefs. There are people who believe only so far as they can understand—that seems to me presumptuous and sets their understanding as the standard of the universe.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea.
    James Madison (1751–1836)
