“It is contrary to the principles of reason and justice that any should be compelled to contribute to the maintenance of a church with which their consciences will not permit them to join, and from which they can derive no benefit; for remedy whereof, and that equal liberty as well religious as civil, may be universally extended to all the good people of this commonwealth.”

But it is not contrary to the principles of reason and justice that people should be compelled to contribute to the maintenance of a wealth redistribution system with which their consciences will not permit them to join, and from which they can derive no benefit?
