The French had established universal liberty of conscience, which gave rise to the following Painean statement: "With respect to what are called denominations of religion, -- if every one is left to judge of his own religion, there is no such thing as a religion which is wrong; but if they are to judge of each other's religion, there is no such thing as a religion that is right; -- and therefore all the world is right or all the world is wrong."
The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 04, No. 26, December, 1859 Various
