Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society - George Washington
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. - John Adams
Sensible of the importance of Christain Piety and virtue to the order and happiness of a state, I cannot but earnestly commend to you every measure for their support and encouragement..... Manners, by which not only the freedom but the very existence of the republics are greatly affected, depend much upon the public institutions of religion. - John Hancock
Religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness. Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. A general dissolution of the pinciples and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are vituous, they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader. - Samuel Adams
