President Thomas Jefferson

He had church services held at Congress and White House yet he is known as Separation of Church and State author. The phrase is borrowed from a letter he sent to some folks who wanted to make sure no single denomination would take over the Country in 1801. The phrase laid dormant until 1940's when it was brought out as billy club to destroy America by harassing Christians. Jefferson was in France when Constitution was written. The First US Supreme Court Justice John Jay, who wrote a third of constitution, said it is our "duty and preference" to select Christians as leaders. Jefferson even spent government money to send missionaries to evangelize Indians. Thanks to revisionist history and anti-God viewpoints the truth is suppressed.

President John Quincy Adams

President John Quincy Adams
Sixth President of the United States
"The law given from Sinai was a civil and municipal as well as a moral and religious code; it contained many statutes . . . of universal application-laws essential to the existence of men in society, and most of which have been enacted by every nation which ever professed any code of laws."
(Source: John Quincy Adams, Letters of John Quincy Adams, to His Son, on the Bible and Its Teachings (Auburn: James M. Alden, 1850), p. 61.)
"There are three points of doctrine the belief of which forms the foundation of all morality. The first is the existence of God; the second is the immortality of the human soul; and the third is a future state of rewards and punishments. Suppose it possible for a man to disbelieve either of these three articles of faith and that man will have no conscience, he will have no other law than that of the tiger or the shark. The laws of man may bind him in chains or may put him to death, but they never can make him wise, virtuous, or happy."
