Religion and the State in Early America

Henry Imler January 21st, 2007

The following is a quote from the famed observer of American affairs, Alexis de Tocqueville

“I do not know if all Americans have faith in their
religion - for who can read to the bottom of their hearts? - but I am
sure that they believe it necessary to the maintenance of republican
institutions. This opinion does not belong to only one class of
citizens or to one party, but to the entire nation; one finds it in all
ranks.” (Tocqueville. Democracy in America. p. 280.)
