HAMPSHIRE CONSTITUTION Acknowledgment of God None
Religion Clauses Part First, article
5. Every individual has a natural and unalienable right to
worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and reason; and no
subject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained, in his pers on, liberty, or estate,
for worshiping God in the manner and season most agreeable to the dictates of
his own conscience; or for his religious profession, sentiments, or persuasion;
provided he doth not disturb the public peace or disturb others in their religious
worship.
Part First, article 6. As morality
and piety, rightly grounded on high principles, will give the best and greatest
security to government, and will lay, in the hearts of men, the strongest obligations
to due subjection; and as the knowledge of these is most likely to be propagated
through a society, therefore, the several parishes, bodies, corporate, or religious
societies shall at all times have the right of electing their own teachers, and
of contracting with them for their support or maintenance, or both. But no person
shall ever be compelled to pay towards the support of the schools of any sect
or denomination. And every person, denomination or sect shall be equally under
the protection of the law; and no subordination of any one sect, denomination
or persuasion to another shall ever be established.
