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:
“The three most important things a man has are, briefly, his private parts, his money, and his religious opinions.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Can a free people restrain crime without sacrificing fundamental liberties and a heritage of compassion?... Let us show that we can temper together those opposite elements of liberty and restraint into one consistent whole. Let us set an example for the world of a law-abiding America glorying in its freedom as well as its respect for law.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
