FROM THE CONSTITUTION OF CALIFORNIA

All men are by nature free and independent, and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoyment and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing, and protecting property; and pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness. —Art. I, Sec. 1.
The FREE EXERCISE AND ENJOYMENT OF RELIGIOUS PROFESSION AND WORSHIP, without DISCRIMINATION or PREFERENCE, shall FOREVER BE ALLOWED in this State; and no person shall be rendered incompetent to be a witness on account of his opinions on matters of religious belief; but the liberty of conscience hereby secured shall not be so construed as to excuse acts of licentiousness, or justify practises inconsistent with the peace or safety of this State.—Art. I, Sec. 4.
The State of California is an inseparable part of the American Union, and the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land.—Art. I, Sec. 3.
