“There are four cornerstones of religious freedom that we as
Latter-day Saints must rely upon and protect.
1. The freedom to believe. No one should be criticized, persecuted
or attacked by individuals or governments for what he or she believes about God.
2. The freedom to share beliefs and faith with others. The
Lord commands His church to ‘Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature.’ We rely on religious freedom in order to teach the Lord’s
doctrine in our families and throughout the world.
3. The freedom to form a religious organization, which is
declared in the 11th Article of Faith.
4. The freedom to exercise faith not just in the home and
chapel, but also in public places. This freedom is currently under fire as
those who demand their viewpoints to be heard are slow to allow the same
tolerance for religious believers to do the same.” – Elder Robert D. Hales
