Or as John Adams said:

“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

(You quote John Adams)

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
