Three statements on religion by Founding Fathers and a pilgrim. "We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." -John Adams "Those people who are not ruled by God will be reuled by tyrannts." -William Penn "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious they have more need of masters." -Benjamin Franklin
