Quotations
from the Founding Fathers about Religion
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(Hobby
Lobby Ad - 7/4/2013)
[Editorial
Note: These quotations document the views of many founding fathers and others
showing their respect for religion and morality. We quote it mainly to show
that our country was established by men who generally believed that government should
respect and encourage morality, decency, religion, and Bible teaching. They
would be shocked to observe modern attempts to limit religious freedom or to
exclude God or Biblical morality from influencing our laws and officials. (This
is the text of an ad placed by Hobby Lobby in many newspapers across the
country on the weekend of July 4, 2013. It apparently appeared in various
forms. We have attempted to quote it as it appeared in our local paper.) – DP]
