إنّ واجب كل إنسان أن يؤدّي للخالق ذلك التعبّد... فقبل أن يُعدّ المرء عضواً في المجتمع المدني، ينبغي أن يُعدّ رعيّةً لمدبّر الكون.

“It is the duty of every man to render to the Creator such homage...Before any man can be considered as a member of Civil Society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe.”James Madison — Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments To the Honorable the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia
