Lest We Forget - This Is One Nation, Under God
President Thomas Jefferson: "God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?"
President Andrew Jackson called the Bible; "the Rock upon which our republic rests.”
President John Adams said; “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.”
Patrick Henry said, “It is when a people forget God, that tyrants forge their chains.”
George Washington, in his Farewell Address said; "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports."
Alexis de Tocqueville, in Democracy in America, wrote extensively on the relationship between the Christian religion and liberty in American: "America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
