When America was founded, society believed that you should read through the Bible from cover to cover once a year. In fact, that’s what they did in public schools. Everyone knew the Bible so
well; it was considered odd when someone didn’t know the Bible. The Bible was part of America; it shaped our economic system and our education. Our political leaders recognized the importance of
the Bible:
· The Bible is the rock on which our republic rests. –Andrew Jackson
· The teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and so entwined with our civic and our social life, it would be impossible for us to figure what life would be if these
teachings were removed. –President Teddy Roosevelt
· With regard to the history contained in the Bible, it is not so much praiseworthy to be acquainted with as it is shameful to be ignorant of it. –President John Quincy Adams
If we took out of America the things that have been built by the Bible, you would not even recognize America today.
