"Those who have been enlightened by God's spirit must not cease to speak nor can they suppress the truth. Such in the power of the spirit, that the mind of man, -  putting aside every false artifice - strives only to add to the glory of God, let the whole world rage and oppose it."  (Francis David)

The very essence of Unitarianism is religious tolerance and a consistantly firm attitude in support of liberty of conscience. Francis David constantly emphasized that religion must be free, that in the question of faith there is no place for compulsion and that the spreading the Gospel (God's words) requires no weapons or violence, because Faith is the gift of God. In other words, Unitarianism is inseparably bound up with freedom of conscience and faith.

There is no greater mindlessness and absurdity than to force conscience and the spirit with external power, when only their creator has authority over them.  (Francis David)
