NOTE: Many of our Founding Fathers often used the word "Religion" in their speeches. Since today the definition can be dry and void of its meaning, we think it is important to offer the definition of the word during their lifetime.

RELIGION: Includes a belief in the being and perfections of God, in the revelation of his will to man, in man's obligation to obey His commands, in a state of reward and punishment, and in man's accountableness to God; and also true godliness or piety of life, with the practice of all moral duties.
