Restoring America... One Friend... One Neighborhood... One School, At A Time...
{Of course there are literally thousands, and thousands of quotes that support the premise that this country was founded by those seeking religious freedom or autonomy, and that such freedom applies to "We, the People", all people, regardless of race, color, or Creed..... But there does seem to be an agenda among "right" minded individuals to create a "Christian Nation" or theocracy, or perhaps even "
Christianize the Constitution.)

Our's IS a Christian Nation... the Proof
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According To The Founder's...
"We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun - let His Kingdom come"
Samuel Adams
Father of the Revolution
[Adams made the above statement as the Declaration of Independence was being signed]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion... Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
John Adams
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
Patrick Henry
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the Supreme Courts Justices...
"... Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."
"National prosperity can neither be obtained nor preserved without the favor of Providence."
John Jay
first Chief Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The people of this State, in common with the people of this country, profess the general doctrines of Christianity, as the rule of their faith and practice ... We are a Christian people, and the morality of the country is deeply engrafted upon Christianity, and not upon the doctrines or worship of those impostors [other religions] ... It is also said, and truly, that the Christian religion is a part of the common law ... proven by the volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of utterances that this is a Christian nation. We find everywhere a clear recognition of this same truth."
Chancellor Kent
the great commentator on American law,
Chief Justice to the Supreme Court of New York
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the Supreme Court(s)...
"Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent, our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian."
"No purpose of action against religion can be imputed to any legislation (State or National) because this is a religious people ... this is a Christian nation."
United Sates Supreme Court - 1892
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We are a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being ... When the state encourages religious instruction or cooperates with religious authorities by adjusting the schedule of public events to sectarian needs, it follows the best of our traditions. For it then respects religious nature of our people and accommodates the public service to their spiritual needs. To hold that it may not would be to find in the Constitution a requirement that the government show a callous indifference to religious groups. That would be preferring those who believe in no religion over those who do believe ... We find no Constitutional requirement which makes it necessary for government to be hostile to religion to and to throw it's weight against efforts to widen the effective scope of religious influence."
United States Supreme Court - 1952
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Christianity is a part of the common law of the land, with liberty of conscience to all. It has always been so recognized ... if Christianity is a part of the common reference to the principles of right and wrong ... it is the foundation of those morals and manners upon which our society is formed; it is there basis. Remove this and they would fall."
South Carolina Supreme Court
