...is our nation founded upon Christianity. The following quotes are from a few of our nation's first Fathers and leaders.
"It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
- Patrick Henry, May 1765, Speech to the House of Burgesses
"We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!"
- John Adams and John Hancock, April 15 1775
"God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?..."
- Benjamin Franklin, Constitutional Convention of 1787
"I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus."
- Thomas Jefferson, 1781, Notes on the State of Virginia
