"Bonus pts" if you can name the President who said these things...
In an annual message to Congress:
"We are inspired by a faith that goes back through all the years to the first chapter of the book of Genesis: 'God created man in His own image.' We on our side are striving to be true to that divine heritage. We are fighting, as our fathers have fought, to uphold the doctrine that all men are equal in the sight of God."
In a radio address:
"Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts."
I'm reading a book on a U.S. President and the language that he used in his speeches struck me because of all the religous references in it. I think people would be up in arms over this type of thing today.
