Religious Liberty in Russia

The religious liberty granted to dissenters from the Orthodox Church in Russia, by a late edict from the emperor, is said to be designed as a palliative to allay the broader demand for political freedom. Be that as it may, if the people be allowed to really enjoy the religious liberty thus nominally decreed, the political freedom will surely follow as a natural consequence. Where freedom of conscience has absolute sway, the civil liberties of the people are practically guaranteed. Satan is an enslaver of soul and body, and his broadest and most tyrannical achievements have been wrought through the agency of religious intolerance.
