A quote from the book "The 5000 Year Leap" (p. 84) regarding the greatness of America as observed by Alexis de Tocqueville (early 1800's):
"I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great. (Quoted in Ezra Taft Benson, God, Family, Country: Our Three Great Loyalties [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 1975] p. 360." And, I might add, America would just cease to be...

Without these basic Christian principles instilled in the hearts of the American people, only blind chaos, and eventually, slavery to some totalitarian form of government can result.
