"Despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot…. How is it possible that society should escape destruction if the moral tie is not strengthened in proportion as the political tie is relaxed? And what can be done with a people who are their own masters if they are not submissive to the Deity?"

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-59), French social philosopher. Democracy in America, vol. 1, ch. 17 (1835)
