Detailed explanation-1: -Followers of Fox, Quakers, believed that all men and women were equal in the eyes of God and should listen to their “inner light” or conscience to guide their spiritual connection with God and the Bible.
Detailed explanation-2: -Quakers seek to experience God directly, within ourselves and in our relationships with others and the world around us.

Detailed explanation-3: -Quakers believe that there is something of God in everybody and that each human being is of unique worth.

Quakers seek religious truth in inner experience, and place great reliance on conscience as the basis of morality.
