"Such is my veneration for every religion that reveals the attributes of the Deity, or a future state of rewards and punishments, that I had rather see the opinions of Confucius or Mohammed inculcated upon our youth than see them grow up wholly devoid of a system of religious principles. But the religion I mean to recommend in this place is the religion of JESUS CHRIST." -- Benjamin Rush, Physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence, Thoughts Upon the Mode of Education Proper in a Republic, 1798
