Excerpt from Right of the Bible: In Our Public Schools
The Deist and the Atheist have their rights of conscience; and as they both claim consci entiously to deny that there is any such thing as a revelation from God, and one party that there is a God, they may claim also that the use of any book in the common schools that teaches the being of a God, or admits the ex istence of a revelation from him, does violence to their conscience. The use of Paley's Natural Theology, or of any reading-book that has a single selection from it, or any work that refers to the Word of God as are ve lation, or any lesson that inculcates any truth or moral precept on the authority of God's Word, or on the ground of God's perfections, is as truly a violation of conscience, as the use of the Bible.
