To a very great extent, America owes its success, virtue, and foundation, to a "Bible Thumper" named John Knox. The general model of American government was inspired by that of the governing organization of the Presbyterian Church. (Moreover, most of the Patriots that fought for America in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas, were Presbyterians).
