Americans should embrace religious principles for stronger nation
By Straight Arrow News
The relationship between religion and state has been a subject of heated political debate since long before the United States was born, and that debate still endures in American politics today. The provision of “general welfare,” written into the U.S. Constitution itself, also persists as a highly relevant issue in modern American politics.
Watch the video above as Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker argues that as our attention to personal responsibility has waned, dependence on government has grown. She contends that we’ve lost focus on the “religious principles” George Washington emphasized in his Farewell Address, sacrificing the health of American society.

Our founders believed in religious freedom, but they also believed in timeless religious principles. In his Farewell Address in 1796, President George Washington said: “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports…Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
