More Read All About It!
David Barton quote, taken from his book,
Original Intent:

"Another example of the secularizing of history through omission is seen in the current reprint of Alexis de Tocqueville's classic 1835 work Democracy in America. The new edition (Richard D. Heffner, editor), touted as being "Specially Edited and Abridged for the Modern Reader," contains less than half the content of the original. What has been omitted? Most of de Tocqueville's comments on the family, morality, and religion. Notice some of his observations deleted from the "modern" condensation:

'There is certainly no country in the world where the tie of marriage is more respected than in America or where conjugal happiness is
more highly or worthily appreciated.
Upon my arrival in the United States, the religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention; and the longer I stayed there, the more did I perceive the great political consequences resulting from this state of things to which I was unaccustomed. In France I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom marching in pursuing courses diametrically opposed to each other; but in America, I found that they were intimately united and they reigned in common over the same country. The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds that it is impossible to make them conceive one without the other.'"
