"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish." (Isaiah 41:10-11)

George Washington on Religion

- - -

"And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." [George Washington's Farewell Address on 19 Sep 1796]

George Washington endorsed religion rhetorically. In his 1796 Farewell Address he remarked on its importance in building moral character in the American citizenry. He believed that morality undergirded all public order and successful popular government.
