The Dangers of Religious Combinations

Extensive religious combinations to effect a political object are, in the opinion of the committee, always dangerous. All religious despotism commences by combination and influence; and when that influence begins to operate upon the political institutions of a country, the civil power soon bends under it, and the catastrophe of other nations furnishes an awful warning of the consequence.—United States Senate Report, 1829.
