Right
of religious freedom.
No
preference shall ever be given by law to any religious sect, society or
denomination; nor to any particular creed, mode of worship or system of
ecclesiastical polity; nor shall any person be compelled to attend any
place of worship, to contribute to the erection or maintenance of any such
place, or to the salary or support of any minister of religion; nor shall
any man be compelled to send his child to any school to which he may be
conscientiously opposed; and the civil rights, privileges or capacities of
no person shall be taken away, or in anywise diminished or enlarged, on
account of his belief or disbelief of any religious tenet, dogma or
teaching. No human authority shall, in any case whatever, control or
interfere with the rights of conscience.
