Stran 71 - Exercise requirements; he noted that "(rjeligion included important communal events for most believers. They exercise their religion through religious organizations, and these organizations must be protected by the [Free Exercise ]|C]lause.
Stran 52 - It must have a creed, defining what a man must believe ; it must have rites and ordinances, which believers must observe ; it must have ministers of defined qualifications, to teach the doctrines and administer the rites ; it must have tests for the submissive, and penalties for the non-conformist. There never was an established religion without all these.
