So, you don't agree with John Quincy Adams, who said, "The glory of the
revolution is it united in one indissoluble bond the principles of
Christianity and the principles of civil government."

Or, Daniel Webster

"Whatever makes men good Christians makes them good citizens"

Or, Sam Adams

"The right to freedom being the Gift of God Almighty .. the rights of the
colonists as Christians .. may best be understood by reading and carefully
studying he Institutions of the Great Law Giver and the Head of the
Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in
the New Testament."
