„I’ve said before that one of the great strengths of the United States is–although, as I mentioned, we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation; we consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.“

— Barack Obama
„Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation — at least, not just; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.“
— Barack Obama
„Although many of us consider ourselves forward-thinkers, we still cling tenaciously to the old values of the monetary system.“
