"The Christian religion, in its purity, is the basis, or rather the source of all genuine freedom in government and I am persuaded that no civil government of a republican form can exist and be durable in which the principles of that religion have not a controlling influence." - United States Founding Father, Noah Webster, K. Alan Snyder, "Defining Noah Webster: Mind and Morals in the Early Republic" (New York: University Press of America, 1990), p. 253, to James Madison on October 16, 1829.
