Summary

This quote suggests that while religion has played a significant role in shaping the nation of America, its power to unify has come not from a particular faith, but from the shared value of freedom, particularly freedom of conscience. It implies that America values the ability for individuals to hold their own beliefs and opinions, which in turn contributes to a sense of unity among its diverse population. This emphasizes the idea that America is a place where people are not only encouraged to practice their chosen religion, but also have the freedom to explore and express their own spiritual or philosophical beliefs.
