“MANIFESTO FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM”
BY JEAN BRASEL,
President, Freedom of Religion For Everyone Everywhere (F.R.E.E.)

In these times of worldwide violence and intolerance, it is time that we the decent loving tolerant people of the world all take a stand for Peace and Unity and Religious Tolerance.
At the bottom of all conflicts, there is always some underlying force which fosters hatred and enmity – such people doing this for their own power needs and gains.
Those of us who are fed up with this kind of behavior need to let our voices be heard throughout the planet,to raise up in one strong voice to let ourselves blast out the hatred! We the decent peoples of earth do resolve to let it be known that we will no longer tolerate nor accept war and violence and intolerance!
To accomplish this, all religions in the world need to unite in a common bond – unified in our belief in tolerance for all. That it is no longer all right for one group to attack another “in the name of religion.” That it is no longer okay to kill innocent people, or invalidate or maim others for one’s own gains.Whether it is country against country, province against province, persons against persons, men against women, this will no longer be tolerated.
That we resolve to take a stand as the Year 2000 approaches to Proclaim the Year 2000 as the Year of Religious Freedom-Freedom for all to practice their religion and hold their beliefs in the manner that they wish to,without interference from dictators or evil minded people – to Worship Freely, and practice their religion as they see fit-without harming others. That individuals have the right to be in the religion of their choosing, and as well, resolve to respect the religious beliefs of others.
That we pledge to uphold the words of Isaiah the prophet:
“They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
And to heed the words of humanitarian L.Ron Hubbard:
“On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on earth.”
And we can therefore help make this a better freer world – free of intolerance and war and strife, and as such deliver the world out of the arms of the hate mongers, and up into peace and tolerance.
Yours in Peace and Harmony,
