As we prepare to round the corner from 2008 to a new year in 2009, it goes without saying
that we face many challenges. But one challenge that shouldn't get lost amidst the
inevitable focus on the economy and our national security is the role of God and religion
in our national life.
Protecting our religious heritage and belief from those who would deny it or suppress it
is a good in and of itself, of course. But the preservation of faith in our public life
also bears on how we view the proper role of government in our lives, how we approach the
education of our children - indeed, how we expect to survive as a democratic republic.

"Where
There is No Religion, There Will Be No Morals"
On this question, the American Founders were explicit: Virtue is a necessary
pre-condition for democracy, and religion is a necessary pre-condition for virtue. In his
Farewell Address, George Washington famously said that "reason and experience both
forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious
principle." Benjamin Rush said simply, "Where there is no religion, there will
be no morals."
These are words to reflect on as we prepare to begin 2009. America is on the precipice of
change - politically and economically. How we will negotiate this change and what kind of
nation will emerge will be greatly influenced by whether or not we take George
Washington's and Benjamin Rush's words to heart.
To that end, if you read nothing else this new year, take a moment to read this
report by Rick Tyler of Renewing American Leadership on the historical inaccuracies in
the new Capitol Visitors Center.
