"The same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought" -- the president was speaking in Washington -- "are still at issue around the globe: the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God."

John F. Kennedy
Inaugural Address
1/20/1961

"We believe, that all men have a right to equal justice under law and equal opportunity to share in the common good. . . . We believe that all men are created equal because they are created in the image of God. From this faith we will not be moved. . . .

Harry S. Truman
Inaugural Address
1/20/1949

"Our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations far away. We have learned that we must live as men, not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger. . . . Almighty God has . . . given our people stout hearts and strong arms with which to strike mightily blows for freedom and truth. He has given to our country a faith which has become the hope of all peoples in an anguished world."

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Final Inaugural Address
1/20/1945

Great comments by three Democrats.

Let's substitute the word, Atheism, for each time God is mentioned and see if it makes sense. The atheists never could even exist if it weren't for God.

BTW, when I fought in WW II, I remember the following statement: "There are no atheists in foxholes!"
