In God We TrustResolution of the VFBF Board of DirectorsThe incorporation of Judeo-Christian principles into the basic documents under which we came into being as a nation of free people and by which we are governed, was the most progressive, far-reaching and constructive action ever taken in the devising and creation of the institutions by which men have been governed since the beginning of time.Our firm insistence upon adherence to these principles in both governmental and non-governmental affairs has brought untold benefits and blessings to believers and non-believers, irrespective of race, color, creed or religious affiliations.The application of Judeo-Christian principles stands as an ever present and the only effective bulwark in protecting the rights of minorities against the will of majorities.If we are to preserve these principles, perpetuate the progress and preserve the freedoms that stem from our beliefs and adherence to the Judeo-Christian philosophy, we must utilize the agencies of education to acquaint the oncoming generations with the nature, substance and origin of our beliefs.We cannot expect to achieve final victory in our worldwide struggle with the atheistic forces of Communism if we weaken our ideological sinews by denying to our children access to any appropriate sources of a fuller knowledge of the God in which we, as a nation, have placed our trust.Religious instruction on a non-sectarian basfc has been traditional in our school systems and has been conducted without prejudice, force, compulsion or coercion of anynature.We insist that this practice be continued as in the past, always respecting the rights of any unbelievers to participate or not participate as they see fit.
