"American conservatives love to quote John Adams, who said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” But they rarely consider the deeper implications of what Adams was saying. If the Constitution is only meant for a moral and religious people, and Americans are no longer moral or religious, then the Constitution is no longer adequate to govern them."
