The Vital Influence of Religious Belief
“Our society is not held together primarily by law and its enforcement, but most importantly by those who voluntarily obey the unenforceable because of their internalized norms of righteous or correct behavior. Religious belief in right and wrong is a vital influence to produce such voluntary compliance by a large number of our citizens.”
Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Strengthening the Free Exercise of Religion,” address given at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty Canterbury Medal Dinner, New York City, May 16, 2013, 1; available at mormonnewsroom.org.
