Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to  political  prosperity,
religion  and  morality  are  indispensable  supports....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.
