"[The First Amendment] embraces all who believe in the existence of God, as well...as Christians of every denomination.... This provision does not extend to atheists, because they do not believe in God or religion; and therefore...their sentiments and professions, whatever they may be, cannot be called religious sentiments and professions."
--Supreme Court of Mass., 1838

"In vain, without the Bible, we increase penal laws and draw intrenchments around our institutions. Bibles are strong intrenchments. Where they abound, men cannot pursue wicked courses, and at the same time enjoy quiet conscience."
--James McHenry (1753-1816), a signer of the U.S. Constitution

--Joseph Alliene

pencil

What man so wise, what earthly wit so ware,
As to descry the crafty cunning traine,
By which deceipt doth maske in visour faire,
And cast her colours dyed deepe in graine,
To seeme like Truth, whose shape she well can faine,
And fitting gestures to her purpose frame,
The guiltless man with guile to entertaine?
Great maistresse of her art was that false Dame,
The false Duessa, cloked with Fidessaes name.
--Edmund Spenser (1552-1599), The Faerie Qveene,
Book I, Cant. VII, stanza 1.
