Religion put that rifle in your hands. Appriciate to how it first came into your possession, and never forget the human element behind each rifle. The state of their souls. An object cannot the source of liberty (Hint: it's found in 2 Corinthinas 3:17). It'd do you no good if your countrymen all became marxists.
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion . . . Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
—John Adams
The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be [based] in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments. Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind.”
—Benjamin Rush
