On November 20, 1798, in his Last Will and Testament, Patrick Henry wrote: "This is all the inheritance I give to my dear family. The religion of Christ will give them one which will make them rich indeed."

While Patrick Henry was dying, he spoke: "Doctor, I wish you to observe how real and beneficial the religion of Christ is to a man about to die... I am, however, much consoled by reflecting that the religion of Christ, has from its first appearance in the world, been attacked in vain by all wits, philosophers, and wise ones, aided by every powers of man, and its triumphs have been complete."

You can copy and paste all the Patrick Henry quotes you want, but that does not change the fact that he tried to impose Episcopalian as the official state religion.

The Deists defeated that legislation and gave us separation of church and state. If not for the Deists, we would all be Episcopalian.
