John Adams, second President of the US and first Vice-President under George Washington, founded the American Bible Society. On February 22, 1756, he wrote in his personal diary: ‘Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity toward his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God … What a utopia that would be.’
