Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religious Liberty in the United States The cradle of religious liberty has been rocked by the worst passions of mankind. Until comparatively recent times, every sect was intol erant from conviction, and held it as a sacred duty to banish or burn the unrepentant heretics. Even heretics, when they became dominant, were not less intolerant toward their former orthodox persecutors. Do unto others as others have done unto you was the rule of persecutors. Heresy, whatever it may signify ecclesiastically, was his torically the penalty for dissent exacted by the State religion from conscientious sectaries. I never knew the time in England, said Milton, when men of truest religion were not counted sectaries.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
