When Alexis de Tocqueville in came to America in the 1820s to see what made America great He said we were "aflame with righteousness." He also said everyone had "their bibles in one hand and their axes in another." At this time in history the axe was viewed as the tool that when the founders cut down the trees and built houses barns fences in farms. Building was what they did the axe was there tool of production. This is still true today. Americans need to have their bibles in one hand in their tools of production in the other. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_de_Tocqueville "Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith."
