Censorship is really government activity. Four Hundred and Fifty years ago, the temporal authorities used churches and religion to secure their own power over the population. I believe it was Henry VIII that said " why should I listen to the Pope quoting me Deuteronomy while the King of Spain has a knife at his throat." Thank God for the wisdom of the writers of the first amendment to the US Constitution. Interestingly enough freedom of religion before the press..."Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
