It is taken in this sense when the government is spoken of in opposition to other bodies in the state.
God

By article 1, of amendments to the Constitution of the United States, it is provided that ""Congress shall make no laws respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."" In the United States, therefore, every one is allowed to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience.
