I noticed this part:

o force someone by law to believe in what he doesn’t want to believe is not only absurd for Locke but it’s an offence done to God. The other consequence is that « neither pagan, nor Mahometan, nor Jew, ought to be excluded from the civil rights of the commowealth because of his religion (…) the commonwealth which embraces indifferently all men that are honest, peacable and industrious ».

If Locke wrote this, it is absurd that he proposed toleration for those who have no reciprocal tolerance.

Typical tactic of leftist professors as well, cherry pick your data, distort reality slightly and make stuff up as needed. Anything to support your contention and conclusions you had before you started your research and writing the piece.
