Religion is the FIRST freedom mentioned. No accident.

Thoughts for today:

"We have no government armed with the 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." -- John Adams, October 11, 1798

NB: I'm not clear on what was the 1798 meaning of gallantry. Maybe it meant what today would be considered a fake or a poser.

^^^^^

And from Washington's Farewell Address: Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.
