Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged. Ronald Reagan

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible. George Washington

My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no Other people on earth enjoy! - Thomas Jefferson

Liberty is the breath of life to nations. ~George Bernard Shaw

This, then, is the state of the union: free and restless, growing and full of hope. So it was in the beginning. So it shall always be, while God is willing, and we are strong enough to keep the faith. ~Lyndon B. Johnson

“Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.” ― George Carlin

“Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person’s life, freedom of religion affects every individual. Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the “wall of separation between church and state,” therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society.” -- Thomas Jefferson

Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion all have a double aspect - freedom of thought and freedom of action. Frank Murphy

The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. Billy Graham

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” George Washington

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent. Martin Luther King, Jr.
