– Matthew 7:3-5

It should be satisfactory evidence that you are on the path of life if you love God and your brethren with all your hearts. You may see, or think you see, a thousand faults in your brethren; yet they are organized as you are; they are flesh; we are all His children, and
should be satisfied with each other as far as possible. The main difficulty in the hearts of those who are dissatisfied is, they are not satisfied with themselves.
– Brigham Young, JOD vol. 1, pg 271

You have a right to belong to what Church you please. Another may say he believes in and worships a white dog, for he has lived with the nations who have a tradition teaching them to do so. It is all right; you are as welcome to worship a white dog as the God I do, if it is
your wish. I am perfectly willing you should serve the kind of a god you choose, or no god at all; and that you should enjoy all that is for you to enjoy.

Following the tradition of the Founding Fathers, freedom belongs to those of all faiths.The tradition of the founding fathers is that the “Religion of America” is not tied to one specific faith but is based on universal principles that all religions who believe in a God share. The founders did not establish any kind of religion for America, but they knew that five core fundamental principles were necessary for people to be capable of self-government.  Without these basic tenets or virtues, men would have: “more need of masters” (Benjamin Franklin).

The five points of fundamental religious belief to support freedom are these:

1. There exists a Creator who made all things that mankind should recognize and worship.
2. The Creator has revealed a moral code of behavior for happy living which distinguishes right from wrong. This code exists in nature itself.
3. The Creator holds mankind responsible for the way they treat each other.
4. All mankind live beyond this life.
5. In the next life mankind are judged for their conduct in this one.

We believe that men will be punished for their own sins…

And there were some who died with fevers, which at some seasons of the year were very frequent in the land – but not so much so with fevers, because of the excellent qualities of the many plants and roots which God had prepared to remove the cause of diseases, to which men were subject by the nature of the climate.

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
