Alma 21

One of the evidences that the gospel is based on true principles is how it changes the lives of people and nations. Here, the sons of Mosiah go throughout the different lands of the Lamanites. In most of these lands, the people are hardened, live lives of wickedness, and are not free as a people to do as they wish, and more importantly, they do not have the freedom to believe what they desire to believe, and to worship in whatever manner they might want. In the land of Ishmael where King Lamoni reigns, he introduces the gospel to his people, and as naturally follows, he also grants them the freedoms and liberty that they previously have not had, including the freedom to worship as they desire. Undoubtedly there are many who choose not to accept the gospel, but there is no coercion that would force them to accept it as there is in the other lands of the Lamanites. Finally, we see one of the evidences of those who live in a government of wickedness and forced belief, the people are taught to hate that which is true and hate those who believe that way.
