The Religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man . . . to exercise it as these may dictate. This right is in its nature an unalienable right. What is the main idea of this excerpt?

Answer:

Freedom of religion selection

Step-by-step explanation:

The main idea of this excerpt is that individuals must have the freedom to choose religion.

Religion is something that cannot be forcefully implemented, and even if force is used then we can’t get a sustainable growth.

Hence the author is stating that people should feely chose religion to whatever they like, based on their own thinking and conscience. Only under such scenario, they will practice the religion in its true spirit

Answer: Individuals should have the right to choose any religion

Explanation: The excerpt above aligns with the idea behind the bill of rights which includes affording individuals the right or freedom to align with any religion of their choosen. Individual's may wish to follow or associate with any religion which shows considerable evidence or conviction to him or her and then decides to follow and associate with such religious group. Religion isn't enforceable and the religion to follow is should be down to individual preference and not enforcement.
