“ This freedom of worship which Americans have recognized as the right of each individual is endangered by the Draft Covenant of Human Rights.
Paragraph 2 of article 13 of the Covenant on Human Rights reads:
"Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs shall be subject only to such limitations as are pursuant to law and are reasonable and necessary to protect public safety, order, health, or morals, or the fundamental rights and freedoms of others." ”

“ Today, when an atheistic ideology of great power and proportions confronts the religious groups of the world, an organ of the United Nations presents the doctrine of state regulation of religion, a codification of the right of regulation, and complete destruction of the freedom of religion if laws based on alleged public safety and order of the state shall so provide. ”

“ The first amendment to the United States Constitution—article I of the Bill of Rights—reads in part:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof: * * *"
Those words are the cornerstone of freedom of worship in the United States; under their protection Protestant, Catholic, Jew, Christian Scientist, Hindu, and Moslem have been secure in their right and desire to worship their God as they chose. Agnostic and atheist have been equally secure in their right to question or to disbelieve. ”
