I believe Jefferson says it best when dealing with matters such as these.
Thomas Jefferson Wrote:I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it...
The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground...
It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
