In August 1984, Ronald Reagan said this at an ecumenical prayer breakfast in Dallas, Texas; .....We establish no religion in this country, nor will we ever. We command no worship. We mandate no belief. But we poison our society when we remove its theological underpinnings. We court corruption when we leave it bereft of belief. All are free to believe or not believe: all are free to practice a faith or not. But those who believe must be free to speak of and act on their belief, to apply moral teaching to public questions.... ....Without God, there is no virtue, because theres no prompting of the conscience. Without God, were mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive... And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that were One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
