Patriotism and Religion: A Little Experiment

I have been doing some research for a term paper and thought that it would be interesting to share some of the quotes I have found as an experiment.  Read the quotes and post your guess as to which historic character made these statements.  No googling or cheating, just your guesses.  I will reveal the historic character in a post next week.  Enjoy.

Heaven will smile on us again.

The task of preserving and advancing the highest humanity, given to this earth by the benevolence of the Almighty, seems a truly high mission. 

We... can conceive of the state only as the living organism of a nationality which not only assures the preservation of its nationality, but by the development of its spiritual and ideal abilities leads it to the highest freedom.

The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation.  It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built.  It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.

By helping to raise man above the level of bestial vegetation, faith contributes in reality to the securing and safeguarding of his existence. Take away from present-day mankind its education-based, religious-dogmatic principles-- or, practically speaking, ethical-moral principles-- by abolishing this religious education, but without replacing it by an equivalent, and the result will be a grave shock to the foundations of their existence.

The general designation 'religious' includes various basic ideas or convictions, for example, the indestructibility of the soul, the eternity of its existence, the existence of a higher being, etc. But all these ideas, regardless of how convincing they may be for the individual, are submitted to the critical examination of this individual and hence to a fluctuating affirmation or negation until emotional divination or knowledge assumes the binding force of apodictic faith. This, above all, is the fighting factor which makes a breach and opens the way for the recognition of basic religious views.

So, who said these things?
