"Can we in prudence suppose that national morality can be maintained in exclusion of religious principles? Does it not require the aid of a generally received and divinely authoritative Religion?"
- Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804), draft of Washington's Farewell Address, 1796, quoted in The Founders on Religion: A Book of Quotations, James H. Hutson, editor (Princeton University Press: 2005), pg.147.
