“THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION MUST BE PRESERVED”

“Every man who conducts himself as a good citizen is accountable alone to God for his religious faith, and should be protected in worshiping God according to the dictates of his own conscience.”—George Washington. TTL 12.10

“Religion is not in the purview of human government. Religion is essentially distinct from government and exempt from its cognizance. A connection between them is injurious to both.”—James Madison. TTL 12.11

“Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contribution. Keep the State and the Church forever separate.”—U. S. Grant. TTL 12.12

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”—U. S. Constitution. TTL 12.13

“My kingdom is not of this world.” “Render therefore unto Cesar the things which are Cesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.”—Jesus Christ. TTL 12.14
