Such thinkers and philosophers as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, who were also great political figures of the time, realized that there cannot be a strong republic without the religion because only religion is able to produce good, obedient and moral citizens. Tying everything together, nowadays zealous preaching of separation between church and state was never meant by the founding fathers, who crafted the Constitution of the United States and wisely realized that one cannot exist without the other. George Washington, the first President of the United States, as well as one of those who took part in writing the Constitution showed his reasoning of the issue through his writings and speeches. It is impossible to govern the universe without the aid of a Supreme Being. It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being.
Religion is as necessary to reason, as reason is to religion.
Many of Washington s speeches to American people sounded like prayers in which he expressed a great thanksgiving to the Creator who generously blessed the American land with freedom, independence, peace and good government. George Washington saw a great connection between government and religion and how they would help one another. He believed that Christianity is that mentioned true religion as well as the religion of his country. As an example, Washington promised Congress s support to the Indian chiefs if they would accept Christianity. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are.
