Final answer:
Benjamin Franklin accepted many principles of deism such as personal morality and religious tolerance but notably did not support religious freedoms for Quakers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Benjamin Franklin, in his autobiography, subscribed to the Enlightenment-era belief system known as deism. Deists held the view that while God created the world, there is no continual divine intervention in human affairs thereafter. Central to deism is the idea that personal morality and good works are of greater importance than strict adherence to church doctrines. Franklin believed in religious tolerance and the idea that a person's civil capacities should not be affected by their religious beliefs or practices, as suggested by his contributions to establishing institutions like the Library Company of Philadelphia, the American Philosophical Society, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania Hospital. However, one principle of religion that Franklin did not accept was the intolerance towards Quakers, whom he believed should be excluded from certain freedoms of religion.
