华盛顿告别演讲提到了宗教和道德的重要性
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity,
religion and morality are indispensable supports...Whatever may be conceded
to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason
and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail
in exclusion of religious principle.
It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of
popular government.

[I]t is religion and morality alone which can establish
the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of
a free constitution is pure virtue. -- John Adams
美国宪法对于没有宗教信仰的民众是不足的
[W]e have no government armed with 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
Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are
twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants. Indeed, these two sciences run
into each other. The divine law, as discovered by reason and the moral sense,
forms an essential part of both. -- James Wilson
Our liberty depends on our education, our laws, and habits. . . it is
founded on morals and religion, whose authority reigns in the heart, and on
the influence all these produce on public opinion before that opinion
governs rulers. -- Fisher Ames
The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in
religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can
be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican
governments. -- Benjamin Rush
While just government protects all in their religious rights,
true religion affords to government its surest support. -- George Washington |
