"Being no bigot myself to any mode of worship, I am disposed to indulge the professors of Christianity in the church, that road to Heaven, which to them shall seem the most direct plainest easiest and least liable to exception."
- George Washington (1732-1799), American Founding Father, Letter to the Marquis de Lafayette, Aug. 15, 1787, quoted in The Founders on Religion: A Book of Quotations, edited by Jaqmes H. Hutson (Princeton: 2005), pg. 193.[Cross-posted over at my own blog, Ordered Liberty.]
