Religious Liberty
Religion Is Essential for Freedom
|
Harvard business professor Clayton Christensen, twice voted the most influential business thinker in the world,
explains why religion is essential in America. As religion loses its influence in the lives of American families, who will teach the next generation to voluntarily live good lives and obey the laws? Without the power that comes from strong families teaching their children the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to value and preserve faith and freedom, our country, liberty, peace, and prosperity are in peril. |
Our Precious Heritage of Religious Freedom |
Liberty Cannot Exist without Virtue |
America's Heritage
|
Many of us have taken our legacy of religious liberty for granted -- like the air we breathe, it has always been abundant. Lately, as our rights have been questioned, it's more important than ever for us to appreciate the sacrifices so many have made to preserve religious freedom in America, and to take our turn to protect and pass on this noble heritage.

In 1776 virtue and morality signified:
* Voluntary obedience to God's law * Cultivating goodness * Excellence of character * Abstaining from vice * Strength or power Our Founding Fathers taught that virtue and morality are prerequisites for liberty. Their precepts are essential for our success, though revolutionary in our day! |
President Reagan gave these remarks to youth at a religious gathering. His words reflect his deep faith, his belief in family values, his great knowledge of American history and heritage, and his hope for America’s future.
