Without morals a republic cannot subsist any
length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion,
whose morality is so sublime and pure are undermining the solid
foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free
governments."
- United States Founding Father, Signer of the
Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll, Bernard C. Steiner, "The
Life and Correspondence of James McHenry" (Cleveland: The Burrows
Brothers, 1907), p. 475, to James McHenry on November 4, 1800.
