Religious Freedom Under Siege

To the Editor:
An open letter from Michael J. Master, DC, MPH, FACFN (Private-Practice Clinician and Epidemiologist) states the following in regards to S2173, a bill that is a threat to New Jersey religious freedom. I want to share it. 
“Significantly, S2173 unequivocally encroaches upon individualized religious freedoms and is the main crux of this entire issue. Yet, how this bill affects religious liberties and inalienable rights currently appears to be the most ignored by many legislators. 
“Religious freedom is precisely the reason why parents, with children-in-hand, dressed their children warmly and waited outside the Capitol building in the frigid cold for 12+ hours, praying for God to intervene on their behalf. “Indeed, what transpired Dec. 16 was such a powerful moment in New Jersey history, as it displayed the ferocity of We the People attempting to maintain the republic, “for which it stands.” 
Subsequently, it is at this current juncture of firmly established religious freedoms in which the threshold of “separation of Church and State,” as noted by Thomas Jefferson, teeters on being breached by S2173, if passed and signed into law. 
Moreover, the inalienable rights endowed by our Creator, which were broadly written by our nation’s framers so to discourage any form of governmental, religious persecution to the individual, first.
 The question is whether it is acceptable for a government to use severely coercive actions or forcibly inject a medical product, especially a product derived from aborted fetal tissue, which is inversely related to the individual’s own personal religious beliefs and practices?
Such a mandate appears somewhat tyrannical, even if dressed in benevolence for the ‘greater good’ of all. The people of NJ are the primary funders of public education and have every right for their children to receive that education without coercive tactics employed by its very own government. 
 Nonetheless, how did we get here? How does the potential removal of religious liberties bypass the intellect of so many bright senators that we, as New Jersey residents, must beseech and plead for our inalienable rights to remain unviolated by our state government? 
 Most assuredly, removing our religious freedoms or God-given rights, as granted through the U.S. Constitution, will most certainly destroy the collective ‘greater good.’ 
Not the ‘vaccine-hesitant’ parents, in contrast, who are concerned about the religious connotation of a compulsory medical product being injected into their children. It is most certainly a precarious issue we do not ever want to traverse upon, as it will most certainly lead to more significant civil unrest and disorder, unfortunately. 
We request that you reevaluate your position circumspectly, and note that encroachment upon our personal religious liberties, however trivial they may seem to some, most unequivocally bodes a pertinent history of shameful and evil outcomes by past governments who entertained and violated such rights. Unequivocally, history proves the sobering truth of such.
