Well, many of the laws he wants to put in place, particularity the ban on gay marriage come directly from his Christian religion. Then the whole fiasco where he stated he followed god above the Constitution. Some interesting reads on his views. Also check out what his dad has said about his son. Absolutely insane.
Interesting.
The Declaration of Independence says "..and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God entitle them.."
The Constitution refers to "the Blessings of Liberty.."
In his inaugural address George Washington said, "I dwell on this prospect with every satisfaction which an ardent love for my Country can inspire: since there is no truth more thoroughly established, than that there exists in the economy and course of nature, an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness, between duty and advantage, between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy, and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity: Since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained: And since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people."
Even our Pledge of Allegiance declares that we are "..one nation under God"
The foundation of Liberty is a commitment to the understanding that there is an ultimate good which is beyond the reach of man, to which man should aspire, and by which man should be humbled. Without God there can be no liberty.
