“Religion in America . . . Must be regarded as the foremost of the political institutions for that country; for if it does not impart a taste for freedom, it facilitates the use of it . . .

This opinion is not peculiar to a class of citizens or a party, but it belongs to the whole nation and to every rank of society.”
