The New Prussian State Religion and Nonconformist Response
The Spectator’s critique of Prussia’s religious legislation prompts a defense of English and Scottish Nonconformity. The piece argues state control of religious teaching risks suppressing dissenting faiths and urges a US and colonial model of religious equality as a remedy. It cautions against state supervision of conscience and calls for broader, fair study of the issue.
