Conscience supersedes state law

Dear Editor, Some secularists seem keen to curb conscience in public life. They would like to silence the vital voice of God within us.

What did great thinkers have to say? According to Albert Einstein “conscience supersedes the authority of the law of the state”. Mahatma Gandhi insisted “in matters of conscience the law of the majority has no part”.

Yours etc,
