Words from Our Presidents: Eisenhower on Our Shared Convictions

Oct 22, 2013JerryWords from Our PresidentsReligious Freedom, Religious Liberty, Words from Our Presidents

As part of a series entitled Words from Our Presidents we are bringing you different from quotes from U.S. Presidents on religious liberty and individual freedom. Today we have a quote from President Eisenhower on how our nation’s convictions are rooted in faith.

“Basic to our democratic civilization are the principles and convictions that have bound us together as a nation. Among these are personal liberty, human rights, and the dignity of man. All these have their roots in a deeply held religious faith — in a belief in God.”

Dwight D. Eisenhower
June 4, 1958
