" Strange as these incidents seem to us they were simply the honest results of the relig- ious principles of the day; simply the dark spots gradually revealing the necessity of turning on the light of freedom. And enticing as would be a study of the rise of religious toleration, I must 'pass it over with only a few remarks. Even so great a statesman as Disra- eli declared as late as 1868 at the dis- establishment of the Irish church that it was "destroying that sacred union between church and s...tate which has hitherto been the chief means of our civilization and is the only safeguard for our religious liberty. " Thomas Paine was far more correct in declar- ing "toleration is not the opposite of intolerance, but is the counterfeit of it. Both are despotisms. The one as- sumes to itself the right of withhold- ing liberty of conscience; the other of granting it. " Toleration is a denial of the very principle underlying the idea of religious liberty and Lord Stanhope, in 1827 epitomized the de- velopment of religious liberty in the United States and in every other coun- try when he said "The time was, when toleration was craved by disent- ers as a boon; it is now demanded as a right, but the time will come when it will be spurned as an insult.
