America Was Founded and Built
on Faith in God
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

| John Adams America's Second President |
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
 |
| Thomas Jefferson Author of America's Declaration of Independence America's Third President |
"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? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever."
 |
| General George Washington America's First President |
"While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian."
 |
| James Madison Primary Author of the U.S. Constitution America's Fourth President |
"We have staked the whole future of American civilization not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

| Benjamin Franklin A signer of both America's Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. One of the leading theorists of the American Revolution |
"I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth - that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?
Blessed is
the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people He chose for His inheritance.
Psalm 33:12 (NIV)
