    here are some other quotes from John Adams =
    Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
    Without religion this world would be something not fit to be mentioned in polite company, I mean Hell.
    We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!
    I have examined all religions, and the result is that the Bible is the best book in the world.
    The Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity.
    I consider a decent respect for Christianity among the best recommendations for public service. John Adams
    The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.
    The idea of infidelity [a disbelief in the inspiration of the Scriptures or the divine origin of Christianity] cannot be treated with too much resentment or too much horror. The man who can think of it with patience is a traitor in his heart and ought to be execrated [denounced] as one who adds the deepest hypocrisy to the blackest treason.
