BELIEF IN GOD
Anyone suggesting that Christianity had little influence on America is not familiar with history. Thirty-four percent of the Founding Fathers quotes – directly or indirectly – came from the Bible. The Bible was quoted four times more frequently than any other source. Most states required of their elected officials a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and the Bible before taking office.

AMERICA WAS FOUNDED AS A CHRISTIAN NATION Spoken at the signing of the Declaration of Independence: "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
Spoken to the chiefs of the Delaware Indian Tribe: "You do well to wish to learn our arts and our ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ… Congress will do every thing they can to assist you in this wise intention.” George Washington
House Judiciary Committee - 1854
PUBLIC SCHOOLS WERE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS “Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.” Northwest Ordinance 1789
Public schools were initially established to insure that all children received lessons in the Bible so that propagation of the Christian faith would continue to the glory of God. Of the first 108 colleges, 106 were founded on the Christian faith established by Evangelical Christians. “Seeing God is the giver of all wisdom, every scholar, besides private or secret prayer, where all we are bound to ask shall be present morning and evening at public prayer in the hall at the accustomed hour….” Yale University requirement
“For Christ and the church.”
Official Harvard University motto "Religion is the only solid basis of good morals; therefore education should teach the precepts of religion, and the duties of man towards God.”
Gouverneur Morris Although our present day Supreme court purports to rule according to the precepts of the Constitution, their actions and statements do not coincide with those who drafted the document; suggesting that they are better equipped to understand the Constitution than those who wrote it. "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principals of civil government with the principles of Christianity.” John Quincy Adams
John Adams “And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that His justice cannot sleep forever.”
Thomas Jefferson 
"If My people which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” II Chronicles 7: 14 |

 Separation between Church & State Have you been led to believe that the phrase Separation between Church and State is found in the Constitution? It is nowhere in the U.S. Constitution. The phrase “Separation between church and state” is actually contained in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist association of Danbury Connecticut. The letter addressed the concerns of the Danbury Baptists who were troubled by a rumor that another denomination was to become the official state religion. Jefferson assured them that the wall of separation was a protection of the church from any possibility that a national denomination be declared. Nowhere in the letter is there reason to conclude that government not be Christian. The belief that Jefferson was instrumental in designing the 1st amendment to the Constitution is also mistaken. While it was being drafted and debated, he was serving as minister to France in France.

| We are seeing in America the results of a society giving in to the belief that man is no longer accountable to his Creator. Today we mock the wisdom of our founders because we ignore the Christian principals that they lived by. The turmoil that grows around us every day, is proof of our foolishness. |

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams
“A general dissolution of principals and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”
Samuel Adams
“And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that His justice cannot sleep forever.”
