It follows from this that we cannot take pride in the power of persuasion of the most important truths, as long as we prevent atheists, freethinkers, and others of that ilk from brandishing their pen, and even the people will only be able to doubt as long as they see the pen in check. And conversely it is obvious that we will be able to boast of having right and truth on our side when once we grant them full freedom in this regard. The weakness of their arguments will make the force of our own be seen more brightly and will make them as sure as they will be unshakable.
