“If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under”

U.S. President Ronald Reagan spoke about the importance of god in government at an ecumenical prayer breakfast in Dallas, Texas, on August 23, 1984:
         
“Without God, there is no virtue, because there’s no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we’re mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”
         
“If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under” has been printed on many images.
 
“One Nation Gone Under” had been printed in The Record (Hackensack, NJ) on November 5, 1964. Reagan said “a nation gone under,” but “one nation gone under” is sometimes given in the quotation. Also, “we’re one nation under God” is sometimes written as “we are one nation under God.”

The Mayflower Compact began with the words, “In the name of God, amen.’’ The Declaration of Independence appeals to “Nature’s God’’ and the “Creator’’ and ``the Supreme Judge of the world.’’ Congress was given a chaplain, and the oaths of office are oaths before God.
