Faith-Based Initiative
No Evangelical Christian Church Left Behind.
If pure religion is the criterion to [decide upon] candidates, those who make a noise about it must be rejected; for their wrangle about it proves that they are void of it. Let honesty, talents and quick dispatch characterize the men of your choice.
Baptist pastor John Leland
Independence Day oration 1802
